Hanif Chaudhry

Mr. and Mrs. Irwin B. Kahn Professor

Associate Dean (International Programs and Continuing Education) CEC

Chairman, Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering

Education

• Ph.D. in Hydraulic Engineering, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, 1970.
• M.A.Sc. in Hydraulic Engineering, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, 1968.
• B.Sc. in Civil Engineering, University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, Pakistan, 1965.

Research Interest

Dr. Chaudhry’s area of specialization is water resource engineering with emphasis on the mathematical and physical modeling of steady and unsteady flows in closed conduits and open-channel. The research interests include both numerical and experimental investigations, such as modeling and laboratory studies on fluid transients in pipelines, on flood flows in rivers and channels, on levee breach, dam failure, and on scour around bridge piers, etc.
