Dr. Q. Jim Chen is an Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Louisiana State University (LSU). He received the NSF CAREER Award to develop a five-year research and educational program focused on coastal wave and surge modeling. Before joining LSU, Dr. Chen had been on the civil engineering and marine science faculty in Alabama for five years. He conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Delaware’s Center for Applied Coastal Research, and doctoral research at Old Dominion University and Danish Hydraulic Institute. Dr. Chen specializes in the development and application of numerical models for coastal hydrodynamics and nearshore processes, including surface waves, wave-induced nearshore circulation, storm surges, estuarine circulation, and sediment transport. His research has been funded by a large number of federal agencies, including the National Science Foundation (NSF), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and NOAA Sea Grant. Dr. Chen is a recipient of the American Society for Engineering Education Southeast 2006 Young Faculty Research Award (2nd place).
