School of Engineering and Applied Science Faculty

The School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) faculty are committed to excellence in teaching, scientific research, and practice. Our faculty work at the cutting edge of research, developing new technologies that hold the promise of revolutionizing many aspects of the world we live in. Our professors include both young investigators who represent some of the freshest thinking in their fields and seasoned scholars with a history of contributions to engineering research. This provides students a rich breadth of knowledge to draw upon whether they are beginning their first introductory level course or are completing their senior year project.

Selected notable SEAS faculty include:

Kahlid Mahmood

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Professor Mahmood’s research focus is on hydraulics, water resources, river mechanics, sedimentation engineering, and physical and mathematical modeling.

Azim Eskandarian

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Professor Eskandarian’s research highlights intelligent systems and controls, computational methods, and dynamics simulation and modeling with applications in transportation and automotive safety, intelligent transportation systems, collision avoidance, and driver assistance systems.
