معرفی
Cary D. Troy is a Professor of Civil Engineering at Purdue University's Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering. He specializes in environmental fluid mechanics, with a focus on hydrodynamic processes in lakes and coastal systems, particularly Lake Michigan. His research integrates field experiments, numerical modeling (e.g., SUNTANS), and analytical methods to study circulation, thermal structure, and mixing in aquatic environments.
Education: Ph.D. (2003), M.S. (1997), and B.S. (1995) in Civil Engineering from Stanford University, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and Purdue University, respectively.
Research interests include benthic boundary layer processes, river plume characterization, and the impacts of invasive species (e.g., quagga mussels) on water quality. His pedagogical work emphasizes active learning in engineering education, including flipped classrooms and writing-to-learn strategies. He has mentored over a dozen graduate students and received multiple teaching awards, including the Purdue University Bravo Award (2015) and Exceptional Early Career Teaching Award (2014).
Awards include the Roy E. & Myrna G. Wansik Teaching Leadership Award (2016) and the American Society of Civil Engineers ExCEED Teaching Fellow designation (2009). His lab, the Burke Hydraulics and Hydrology Lab, focuses on advancing understanding of coastal and limnological systems through interdisciplinary approaches.
