His graduate work focused on physical and numerical modeling of subsurface contaminant fate and transport. His recent research efforts include developing new tools for contaminant source characterization, methods for estimating probable extreme water table elevations for tidally influenced and inland conditions, and groundwater modeling for the purpose of establishing source water assessment protection areas. His teaching experience includes courses in water resources engineering, urban stormwater design, hydraulics, and groundwater.<\/p>\n<h3>Education<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Ph.D., Civil and Coastal Engineering, University of Florida (Gainesville) 2001<\/li>\n<li>B.S., Civil and Coastal Engineering, University of Florida (Gainesville) 1993<\/li>\n<li>A.A.S., Architectural Engineering, Wentworth (Boston, MA) 1988<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Professional Registration\/Certification<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Professional Engineer, Florida (License# 65663)<\/li>\n<li>Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER 40-hour certified)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Patents<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>US Patent (US 20150268081 A1), Sediment Bed Passive Flux Meter, 2015.
