engineering alumni:
- Richard Enander, EG'01
The Occupational Health Administration (OSHA) as
part of its National Emphasis Program
to reduce occupational exposures to lead has
included the automotive repair and painting industry
sector in this effort based on the findings of
Richard Enander’s doctoral thesis “Lead particulate
and methylene chloride risks in automotive refinishing”
and two publications in the Journal of Occupational and
Environmental Hygiene and the AIHA Journal.
- Julia Goldberg, G'08
Julia Sarah Goldberg was named a
Fulbright Scholar for 2010-2011. Her proposed
project will be trained upon supporting the creation of
a unified disease surveillance system that will span all
of Mexico. The creation of the Mexican National Alert
System (NotificaMex) will draw fully on Julia’s training
in epidemiology, health services administration, and
environmental health.
- Ian Jarvis, EG'01
Ian M. Jarvis was selected as a Japanese Ministry of
Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT)
Fellow. MEXT coordinates innovation and the funding of
education, science and technology throughout Japan and
particularly emphasizes the development of international
exchanges.
- Bill Edgerton, E'70
The
2009 Charles Pankow Award for Innovation was awarded
to the Claremont Tunnel Seismic Upgrade Project, which
pioneered innovative design features in upgrading a
major water supply tunnel in the San Francisco Bay Area
that serves more than 800,000 residents and crosses the
Hayward Fault Zone. The project team included Bill
Edgerton, CEE'70, President of
Jacobs Associates, a
consulting engineering firm headquartered in San
Francisco.
- 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.
