CEE professor tapped to research water resources in Israel

Jose Vasconcelos, associate professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, is one of 32 researchers selected by the Jewish National Fund-USA to travel to Israel for its 2023 Summer Faculty Fellowship Program. Funded by the Jewish National Fund-USA’s Boruchin Center and individual donors, the tour is a fully paid intensive program for full-time academics from leading American universities. 
Civil and environmental engineering research team honored with FHWA award

A team of researchers in Auburn's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering were honored with an Environmental Excellence Award from the Federal Highway Administration.
Hydrology professor receives $800K NSF grant to research urban stormwater management

Thanks to intense and spatially heterogeneous rain events, fast-pace urbanization and complex drainage infrastructure, stormwater management in urban communities is growing more complicated by the year. Jose Vasconcelos thinks his investigations into Adverse Multiphase Flow Interactions (AMFI), a poorly understood phenomena caused by the entrapment of air within stormwater systems during periods of extreme rain, can help change that trend.
NOAA awards Auburn team $1.5M to research resilient transportation infrastructure

As part of its highly competitive Effects of Sea Level Rise (ESLR) program, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has selected an interdisciplinary team of Auburn University researchers to lead a $1.539M project to address increasingly critical needs necessary for resilient infrastructure.
