Read about featured Civil and Environmental engineering alumni:

• Pete Cheever, E'75
  Cheever, Executive vice president of LeMessurier Consultants, has regularly supported department activities by teaching senior-level engineering capstone courses.
   
• Glenn R. Bell, E'74
  Bell, CEO of engineering firm Simpson, Gumpertz, and Heger (SGH), has routinely supported the department through lectures and internships.
   
• Dave Rosowsky, E'85, GE'87, Engineering Board of Overseers
  Creating Safer and Stronger Infrastructure: One Structure at a Time
  Rosowsky, Professor and Head of the Zachry Department of Civil Engineering at Texas A & M University, researches designs capable of resisting natural hazards such as hurricanes and earthquakes.
   
• Will Thompson, E'99
  Sunshine on His Shoulders
  Thompson is co-founder of of Nexamp, Inc., (formerly NexGen Energy Solutions) a company that designs, finances, builds and operates projects that reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions for businesses, governments and homeowners.
   
• Megan Brachtl, MALD'05, MS'05
  Environmental Policy
  Brachtl tackles fuel issues as presidential management fellow in the Office of Transportation and Air Quality at the U.S. EPA.
   
• Antigoni Zafirakou, G'00
  A Mighty Wind
  A faculty member in the civil engineering department at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece, Zafirakou is part of a research project aimed at predicting the movement of ocean-based oil spills.
   
• Erin Santini Bell, G'03
  As an Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of New Hampshire, Bell researches the application of condition assessment techniques to in-service structures.
   
• Ellen Douglas, G'02
  Douglas, an assistant professor of Hydrology, is developing a research program that will also include sustainable water use and water management issues at the watershed to regional scale as part of the Environmental Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.
   
• A. Sankarasubramanian, G'01
  Sankarasubramanian studies streamflow forecasting as an assistant professor at North Carolina State University. Seasonal stream flow forecasts contingent on climate information are essential for water resources planning and management as well as for setting up contingency measures during extreme years.
   
• Chuck Kroll, E'87, G'98
  At Environmental Resources and Forest Engineering at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Kroll is developing holistic approaches to water resource management and utilization, and to better understand the uncertainty involved with forecasting hydrologic phenomena.
   
• Jennifer Jacobs, G'93
  As part of the Environmental research group at University of New Hampshire, Jacobs' research addresses the knowledge gap regarding evaporative fluxes and the emphasis within engineering practice to improve the spatial and temporal representation of water cycling.
   
• Neil Fennessey, G'94
  Fennessey developed the QPPQ Transform™, a method used to generate many year estimates of daily streamflow at ungauged stream or river locations in the northeast United States, specifically sites in any of the New England states, New York, Pennsylvania or New Jersey.
