School of Engineering: Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Engineering Mechanics

Profile

Dr. Chase has a deep love and appreciation for sustainability efforts with a particular emphasis on water resources. His specialty area is simulating the behavior of large-scale water resource systems in an effort to mitigate the negative effects that humans have on the built environment. He is also interested in the effects of climate change on urban water resource infrastructure systems. Much of Dr. Chase's prior research has focused on minimizing power consumption with a resultant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
