Julie Paprocki

Julie Paprocki is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of New Hampshire (UNH), serving as the Ocean Engineering Minor Coordinator within the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences. Her research focuses on geotechnical engineering applications in coastal and estuarine environments, leveraging remote sensing technologies like synthetic aperture radar and satellite imagery. She specializes in sediment characterization, intertidal zone analysis, and developing frameworks for assessing coastal soil properties using non-invasive methods.

Dr. Paprocki teaches advanced courses including CEE 502 (Project Engineering), CEE 796/896 (Marine Geotechnics), and OE 758/858 (Design of Ocean Structures). Her work integrates field measurements with remote data collection to improve understanding of coastal geotechnical challenges, particularly in extreme event contexts. Recent publications emphasize satellite-based moisture content assessment, sediment classification, and portable instrumentation for site characterization.

No scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed in the provided materials. Her research lab focuses on advancing coastal infrastructure resilience through innovative geotechnical methodologies.
