Dingbao Wang

Dingbao Wang is a Professor and Department Associate Chair in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering at the University of Central Florida (UCF), College of Engineering and Computer Science. He has been a faculty member at UCF since 2010 and was promoted to full Professor in 2022. His research focuses on hydrology and water resources, particularly in hydrologic and groundwater modeling.

His research interests include:

• Hydrology and Water Resources
• Hydrologic and Groundwater Modeling
• Precipitation Partitioning and Evapotranspiration
• Soil Water Storage and Infiltration
• Baseflow and Streamflow Dynamics
• Climatic and Landscape Controls on Hydrological Systems

The analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on theoretical and empirical modeling of water partitioning processes, climatic influences on hydrological fluxes, and the development of new frameworks for understanding catchment-scale water dynamics. His work often bridges observational data with mathematical models to improve predictive capabilities in hydrology.

Notable scientific recognition includes:

• UCF CECS Alex Alexander Professorship

Dr. Wang leads the CHAMPS Lab at UCF and is actively engaged in advancing the understanding of groundwater and surface water interactions. His recent work has been highlighted in UCF news for its relevance to groundwater flow in Florida. While specific student advisees are not listed, he mentors students through research projects and publications. There is no mention of external grants in the provided text, but his consistent publication record in top-tier journals suggests active research support.
