Xing Fang is a Professor in Water Resources Engineering at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Samuel Ginn College of Engineering, Auburn University. With a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Minnesota (1994), he has dedicated his career to advancing water resources engineering through interdisciplinary research, teaching, and professional service.
- Education
- Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, University of Minnesota (1994)
- M.S. in Civil Engineering, University of Minnesota (1991)
- B.S. in Hydraulic Engineering, Tsinghua University (1987)
Research Interests span water quality modeling, hydrodynamics in lakes, reservoirs, and estuaries, hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, and stormwater management, with a focus on integrating computational models (EFDC, FLOW-3D) and field studies to assess climate change impacts, sediment transport, and ecosystem health.
Recent publications (2023–2025) emphasize urban stormwater solutions, erosion control practices, and climate-resilient infrastructure, utilizing GIS, distributed modeling, and chemical treatments. His 15 most recent articles analyze topics like flocculant optimization, infiltration swales, and soil moisture impacts on runoff.
