Roy Messaros serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Civil and Urban Engineering at the Tandon School of Engineering, New York University. A licensed Professional Engineer (PE), Professional Wetland Scientist (PWS), and Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM), he focuses on coastal hydraulics for the US Army Corps of Engineers' Hurricane Sandy Relief Branch, specializing in flood control structure design and floodplain analysis.
His academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Coastal Engineering, Stevens Institute of Technology (2003)
- Master of Science in Aquatic Ecology, William Paterson University of New Jersey
Research centers on flood risk management and tidal wetland restoration, leveraging tools like CEM, HEC-RAS, and HEC-HMS for projects including Port Monmouth Storm Surge Protection and Green Brook Flood Control. His work bridges engineering design with ecological restoration in urban coastal zones.
Publications reveal evolving expertise from 1990s pharmaceutical engineering to contemporary coastal resilience, with recent works (2010-2013) emphasizing Jamaica Bay restoration and flood control hydraulics in densely populated estuaries.
No scientific awards were documented in the source material.
Professional contributions focus on project engineering leadership rather than academic advising or grant management, with interagency collaboration central to his FEMA levee accreditation work and storm-surge mitigation initiatives.
He operates within high-stakes project teams for the US Army Corps of Engineers, notably the Hurricane Sandy Relief Branch and Jamaica Bay marsh restoration, integrating hydraulic design with habitat rehabilitation in multimillion-dollar federal initiatives.
