معرفی
Scott Lowe is a Professor of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Manhattan College, where he has served since 1994. His research focuses on coastal engineering, storm surge mitigation, and infrastructure resilience, driven by the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy. He is a licensed professional engineer (P.E.) in New York and actively consults with engineering firms on projects across the U.S. and internationally. Dr. Lowe teaches courses such as EPA Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) and has authored textbooks on fluid mechanics and hydraulic design.
- Education: B.E. and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Wollongong, Australia.
- Professional Memberships: International Code Council.
- Expertise: Hydraulic design, sedimentation analysis, and urban water management.
His research includes constructing a wind-water flume to study innovative storm surge mitigation structures, involving both graduate and undergraduate students. He has served on peer review panels for the EPA and NSF and taught professional courses for ASCE.
Key publications span topics like coastal erosion, urban heat islands, and power plant cooling systems. Awards include the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council's September 11th Memorial Program Recognition (2005).
Dr. Lowe's advising and grants focus on collaborative projects with students and faculty, emphasizing experimental hydrodynamic modeling and infrastructure resilience. He leads initiatives in lab facilities dedicated to coastal engineering challenges.
