I am an IIHR faculty research engineer, as well as a professor of civil and environmental engineering. I joined the UI College of Engineering in 1994, after completing a PhD in civil and environmental engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. As an educator, I have taught courses across the engineering curriculum, including upper-level courses, required major courses, and engineering core courses. At the Iowa Flood Center, I am involved in research focusing on flood hydrology, hydroclimatology of extreme rainstorms, and hydrologic forecast verification.

Research interests:

• Hydrology
• Hydroclimatology
• Watershed modeling
