Bledsoe, Brian - The University of Georgia - School of Chemical, Materials, and Biomedical Engineering

个人简介

Dr. Bledsoe has over 25 years of experience as an engineer, hydrologist, and environmental scientist in the private and public sectors. Before entering the professorate, he worked in the private sector as a consulting engineer and surveyor, and for the State of North Carolina as a watershed restoration specialist and state nonpoint source program coordinator. Brian’s research is focused on the interface of hydrology, ecology, and urban water sustainability with an emphasis on green infrastructure including streams, floodplains, and stormwater systems. He received an NSF CAREER Award in 2006, and served as a Fulbright Scholar in Chile in 2008. Ph.D., Civil Engineering, Colorado State University, 1999 M.S., Restoration Ecology, Forestry, and Hydrology, North Carolina State University, 1993 B.ME., Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, 1987
