Jae-Hyeon Park
K-water, South Korea
Dr. Jae-hyeon Park is the CEO of K-water, Korea Water Resources Corporation. He received both his master’s degree and a doctorate in Civil Engineering (specifically hydraulic engineering) at Seoul National University, Republic of Korea, before beginning his career in the field of academia. He worked as a professor in the College of Engineering at Inje University for about 20 years from 2000, and was a visiting professor at the University of California, United States. In addition to his professional academics experiences, Dr. Park is widely recognized as an expert in the water sector since he actively engaged in diverse water-related activities such as the National Water Management Committee, Presidential Committee on Balanced National Development, Integrated Water Management Vision Forum, etc. In 2020, in recognition of his work in this field, Dr. Park was elected as the President of the Asia Water Council, and presently serves as a member of the Board of Directors of the World Water Council, Federation of Korean Society of Water and Academic Societies, and Korea Water and Wastewater Association.
Ian Guymer
University of Sheffield, UK
Prof. Ian Guymer studied for PhD at the University of Birmingham, UK, graduating in 1985. In January 2005, Ian was appointed Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Warwick. He returned to his home city, and the University of Sheffield in 2018. Ian's research interests centre on the mixing and transport of contaminants in coastal and estuarine areas, rivers, urban drainage and most recently, pipe distribution systems. His work aims to identify and quantify the transport and mixing processes within areas of civil engineering hydraulics and the natural environment. His research projects have investigated the mixing processes in urban drainage systems, quantifying dispersion effects due to topographic variations, estuarine studies and coastal mixing processes. In recent years, fundamental research has been supported by EPSRC, NERC, and the EU, with applied research funded by Unilever, Water utilities, the Environment Agency and Highways England. Ian is a Chartered Engineer and a Member of the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management. In 2017-19, Ian was the first Academic-in-Residence for the Institution of Civil Engineers' Shaping-the-World initiative, which uses the knowledge and experience of civil engineers to help find solutions to some of the world’s most pressing problems, as detailed in the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Heidi Nepf
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA
Prof. Heidi Nepf is the Donald and Martha Harleman Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She received a doctorate from Stanford University (1992) and was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution before beginning her career at MIT in 1993. She is internationally known for her work on the impact of vegetation on currents, waves, and sediment transport in channels, wetlands, and coastal zones. The Nepf Lab develops models for the physical processes that determine how vegetated habitats, such as seagrasses, marshes, and mangroves, provide coastal protection, impact landscape stability, improve water quality, and provide blue carbon reservoirs. In recognition of her work in this field, she was selected for a NSF Career Award, the Borland Lecture, the Chapman Lecture, the Harold Schoemaker Best Paper Award [IAHR], and Distinguished Alumni Award from Bucknell University. In 2018 she was elected as a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union, and in 2019 she received the ASCE, Hunter Rouse Hydraulic Engineering Award. Dr. Nepf served on the National Research Council panel that reviewed the Army Corps’ Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration (LACPR) Program.
Pengzhi Lin
Sichuan University, China
Prof. Pengzhi Lin obtained his Ph. D. degree from Cornell University in 1998. He conducted postdoctoral research at Cornell and Hong Kong Polytechnic University from 1998-2000. In 2000, he joined National University of Singapore as an assistant professor and became the tenured associate professor in 2005. Now he is a Professor at Sichuan University, China. His research interests cover hydraulic, coastal and ocean engineering. He is an expert in computational hydrodynamics and its applications in various water-related problems. He is the author of the book “Numerical Modeling of Water Waves” published by Taylor & Francis in 2008 and the co-author of “Water Environment Modeling” to be published in 2021. He has published about 100 peer-reviewed journal papers, which receive a total citations of over 5,000 times. He is the Chief Editor of Applied Ocean Research and the Associate Editor for Journal of Hydro-environment Research, Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, Journal of Ocean Engineering and Marine Energy, and Water Science and Engineering.
