Hydraulics, Hydrology and Environmental Engineering

Simon Mathias holds a M.Eng. degree in Civil Engineering from University College London, an M.Sc. degree in Water Resources, Technology and Management from the University of Birmingham, and a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Imperial College London. He currently works as a Professor in Environmental Engineering for the Department of Engineering at Durham University. He has authored 76 scientific journal articles and has served as Associate Editor for the Journal of Hydrology, Transport in Porous Media, Hydrogeology Journal and the Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology. His research interests concern the development of mathematical models to describe movement of fluids and contaminants in porous media. He has worked on a wide range of different applications including groundwater recharge, carbon capture and storage, nutrient transport, and rainfall runoff modeling.
