EDUCATION Ph.D. Environmental Engineering, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio. 1998 M.S. Environmental Engineering, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio. 1992 B.S. Civil Engineering/Hydraulics, Jesuit University at Beirut, Lebanon. 1988 AREAS OF RESEARCH EXPERTISE 1- Coastal systems including beach processes and groundwater. 2- Environmental Fluid Mechanics and ocean processes, application to mitigating oil spills. 3- Remediation of contaminated sites using in situ techniques. 4- Massive computational modeling of physical, chemical, and biological processes. EXPERIENCE 2007-present Director, Center for Natural Resources (CNR) New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, NJ, 2012-Present. Funding: Through the CNR, I led research in the general area of water infrastructure, environment and energy. Funding to the CNR came from Government (US and Foreign), Industry and Foundations. Collaborations: Working with Industry on water and remediation projects in the US and abroad (namely South America and Canada). Companies include, Louis Berger Group, Langan Engineering, and Mott McDonald. Working closely with the American Petroleum Institute (API) to develop guidelines for oil management offshore and on land. Developed a manual for bioremediation of oil spills on shorelines that is currently adopted by API. Collaborating with national labs in the USA (Department of Energy), Canada (Department of Fisheries and Oceans), Australia (Commonwealth Scientific and Industry Research Organization, CSIRO), and China (Changjiang River Scientific Research Institute, CRSRI). Leadership: Led university-wide initiatives to develop and implement Sustainability at Temple University and NJIT. As a result, a special type of urban sustainability, termed Urban Ecology, was adopted at both institutions as it allows one to view cities as living organisms. Currently working with the City of Newark and Industry on implementing smart infrastructure solutions in Newark.

Strategic: Worked with the faculty of the Department to develop strategic directions that rely on existing Department strengths and national trends. The plan provided guidelines for hiring faculty, expanding labs, and developing programs. Led the development and preparation of the Department self-study report for the successful ABET accreditation visit of 2012. Program Development: Established a strong program in Environmental Engineering to address the national trends, regional opportunities, and faculty strengths. A Concentration in Environmental Engineering was developed and offered for BSCE majors, and a Minor in Environmental Engineering was developed offered for non-CE majors (2008). A Masters of Science in Environmental Engineering was developed and offered in 2009. A graduate Certificate in Stormwater Management was developed and offered in 2010. A graduate Certificate in Energy and Environment was developed and submitted for approval in 2010. The certificate draws on expertise in Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. In 2008, the Department offered a core course for university students, titled the “The Environment”. By 2012, the course was being offered through 24 sections, and it was generating more than 4,500 credit hours per year. The Department developed and offered in 2011 an undergraduate Certificate in “Construction and Safety” in partnership with the School of Public Health. Major improvements were made to the Geotechnical Engineering and Environmental Engineering labs. Growth:The number of full time faculty increased from 9 to 15 in 2011. The Department hired one female and one African American faculty. The number of undergraduate students increased from 200 in 2006 to more than 400 in Fall 2011. The CEE Department changed from being the smallest department within the College of Engineering to becoming the largest. The number of full-time graduate students in the Department doubled through close collaboration with faculty to obtain student fellowships and grants from State and Federal agencies and from Industry. Distance Learning: Developed in 2008 a multi-year approach for the development of online “industry-oriented” MS degrees in Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering. Online graduate courses were offered in 2008. Practicing engineers and professionals were compensated on a part-time basis to co-teach some of the courses. Research: The external funding to the Department increased by ten folds from $200K in 2006 to $2.0M in 2011. The number of articles published in archival journals grew by 100%. The Department negotiated successfully an Intergovernmental Government Agreement (IGA) with the Department of Transportation in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (PENNDOT). The IGA provided a vehicle for funding to the Department up to $5,000,000 for the duration 2008-2013. Students Involvement: The Department founded a Student Chapter of the Society of Women Engineers in 2009 and a Student Chapter of Engineers Without Borders in 2010. Both Chapters were open to all Engineering students. Outreach:The CEE Department developed two massive listservs to announce events and seminars of the CEE Department, along with major accomplishments. One listserv was for Temple University and included approximately 500 faculty and staff, and the other was for professionals in Philadelphia and included around 3000 names. A weekly seminar series was established by the CEE Department, and it brought national and regional speakers. The audience was from the Philadelphia region. The seminar series helped creating a culture of research within the CEE Department, and increased the impact of the Department in the region. The efforts of the CEE Department were recognized within the university when the Department made the cover page of the Temple Review, an alumni magazine that reaches around 300,000 households.
