معرفی
Dr. Whitney Pagan is an Assistant Professor in the School of Environmental, Civil, Agricultural, and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Georgia. Her expertise spans integrated hydrologic systems, urban and agricultural water quality, and circular agricultural systems. She holds a B.S. and M.S. in Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering from Oklahoma State University, and a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Tennessee. Dr. Pagan’s research emphasizes hydrologic modeling, soil erosion, green infrastructure, and sustainable agricultural practices. She is actively involved in the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE)’s young professionals committee.
Her research focuses on environmental engineering challenges, including stormwater management through bioretention systems, nutrient recycling in agriculture, and the impacts of invasive species on water resources. Dr. Pagan has published extensively on hydrological modeling tools like DRAINMOD-Urban and SWMM, as well as field studies on urban tree canopy interception and Eastern Redcedar encroachment effects on watersheds. Her work bridges theoretical modeling with practical applications in urban and agricultural landscapes.
Dr. Pagan’s contributions include advancing green infrastructure design, evaluating circular agricultural systems, and promoting sustainable water management practices. She collaborates on initiatives to enhance urban watershed restoration and reduce agricultural runoff through innovative solutions like compost utilization and biowaste recycling.
