Professor, West Virginia University at Morgantown (Earth sciences; Environmental sciences; Engineering; Information and computing sciences; Built environment and design; Biological sciences)

Greater Pittsburgh, USA

Dr. Omar I. Abdul-Aziz is a tenured Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) in the West Virginia University (WVU) at Morgantown. He obtained a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities (2008), an M.S. from the University of Waterloo, Canada (2004), and a B.S. from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Dhaka (2002), all in Civil Engineering. Dr. Abdul-Aziz conducts highly interdisciplinary research in ecological, environmental, and water resources engineering ― incorporating topics related to the coupled human-natural systems and sustainability from at-site to global scales. Current research includes mechanistic data analytics, scaling, and robust and user-friendly modeling to predict (I) greenhouse gas fluxes and carbon storage in coastal/terrestrial ecosystems and natural gas fields; (II) stream water quality and ecosystem health; and (III) large-scale urban/coastal flooding under various regimes of rainfall, sea level and land uses.
