Diogo Bolster is the Frank M. Freimann Professor of Hydrology and Henry Massman Department Chair in Civil and Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences at the University of Notre Dame. His research focuses on environmental fluid flows, contaminant transport, and porous media applications spanning groundwater systems to atmospheric flows.
Education includes a Ph.D. from UC San Diego, M.S. from UC San Diego, B.S. from University College Dublin, and postdoctoral work at Polytechnic University of Cataluna.
Research explores flow and transport phenomena in heterogeneous environments with applications to sustainable water management and hazard mitigation. Work integrates theoretical modeling, laboratory experiments, and field studies to address challenges in hydrology and environmental engineering.
Recent publications demonstrate strong focus on pore-scale processes, coastal flooding, antibiotic resistance transport, and computational methods for environmental systems, reflecting interdisciplinary approaches to water-related challenges.
Awards include the 2023 Polubarinova-Kochina Hydrologic Sciences Mid-Career Award from the American Geophysical Union for contributions to the field.
Leads an active research group with multiple PhD students and postdocs, supported by NSF and other grants. Collaborations span institutions internationally and include field studies at Notre Dame's environmental facilities.
