BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Fang is an Associate Professor with the Department of Civil Engineering in the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering at Auburn University since August 2007.  Dr. Fang has twelve-year research and teaching experience as faculty member in the Department of Civil Engineering at Lamar University (Texas State University System), Beaumont, Texas.  Dr. Fang received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 1994 (St. Anthony Falls Laboratory in the Department of Civil Engineering).

Dr. Fang has published over 30 peer-reviewed journal articles, 3 book chapters (entries), and over 32 conference papers in the area of environmental hydrodynamics and water resources engineering (hydraulics and hydrology).  He is a Diplomate, Water Resources Engineer (D.WRE) credentialed from the American Academy of Water Resources Engineers (AAWRE). He is an Associate Editor in surface water hydrology for the Journal of the American Water Resources Association (JAWRA).  His research experience in water resources engineering includes regional unit hydrograph and storm hyetograph development, rainfall loss estimation using non-linear programming, estimation of time parameters for Texas watersheds, synthesis of storm drainage design, and study of sediment transport in gravel-bed rivers.  His research experience in environmental hydrodynamics includes one-dimensional lake water quality modeling, two-dimensional reservoir water quality modeling (studies on three Texas reservoirs), three-dimensional computational hydraulics modeling using FLOW-3D^Ò (specializing in free-surface flow simulations), and water quality monitoring in estuaries.  He believes that there is a great potential to integrate various disciplines in science and engineering and to conduct advanced research in the area of engineering, environmental, geophysical and biological fluid mechanics or hydraulics or environmental hydrology.
