He has more than 15 years of experience in computational hydraulics, hurricane surge modeling, feasibility studies and design analysis. He has conducted numerous hydrodynamic and environmental studies in river and wind dominated coastal regions in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf coasts. One of his recent achievements is the development of a computational tool called REAL (Rapid Estimates for Approaching Landfall) which is a storm surge forecasting system bearing the JSU logo and currently used by the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency. The technology was used for estimating hurricane Isaac’s devastation in August 2012 and is being used for operational analytics in current and future hurricane seasons.
