Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Kees is an associate professor and mathematical modeler with 16 years of experience translating challenging civil and environmental engineering problems into robust computational solutions. He specializes in multiphase and free-surface flows, porous media, finite element methods, iterative solvers, and PDE analysis, bringing a rare blend of deep theoretical training (Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Engineering) and long-term applied research at the U.S. Army ERDC. At LSU he leads research that bridges academic rigor and field-relevant engineering, drawing on two decades of adjunct teaching and postdoctoral work to mentor students and collaborate across departments. His editorial experience with Advances in Water Resources and sustained involvement in multidisciplinary projects reflect a strong record of shaping both research direction and practical modeling tools for civil works and military engineering applications.
