Summary
Brandan Scully is a coastal engineering professional with a decade of experience applying data-driven analysis to maintain and optimize U.S. Army Corps of Engineers navigation infrastructure. He leads research on operations metrics and reliability-based asset management for a $2B navigation portfolio and has translated those insights into practical KPIs for channels and coastal structures. Brandan’s background spans hands-on dredging project design and construction management, instructional roles teaching coastal processes and dredging fundamentals, and leadership of navigation teams that managed millions of cubic yards of sediment annually. He pairs technical credentials—a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering and advanced coastal/environmental degrees—with operational experience from the USCG, giving him a rare blend of field, analytic, and instructional expertise. Notably, he has driven GIS and sonar/LiDAR integrations that earned an Innovation of the Year award and informed performance-driven recapitalization decisions. Based in South Carolina, he also explores nature-based shoreline solutions and has taught data cleaning and visualization at the college level.
