Teaching

Analysis and design of civil engineering hydraulic systems, including piping and pipe networks, pumps, open channel flow, hydraulic jumps, and weirs.

Application of engineering hydraulics to watershed management and urban infrastructure design; engineering hydrology; open-channel hydraulics; remotely-sensed data analysis; hydraulic and hydrologic modeling tools; urban water quality and low impact design.

Introduction to control theory for civil engineers, with applications to structural, hydraulic, transportation, HVAC, electrical, and water/wastewater treatment systems. Presents mathematical methods for (i) modeling civil infrastructure systems, (ii) estimating system states from sensor data, and (iii) controlling system dynamics. Topics include differential equation-based models of civil infrastructure; time and frequency domain representations; linear spaces and linear operators; state-space models; modal analysis; controllability and observability; feedback control; state estimation; and system identification.
