Senior🎓
Top SchoolEd Beighley is a civil and environmental engineering leader with 11+ years in academia and research, now serving as Department Chair at Northeastern University after a progression from professor and interim chair roles. He combines deep expertise in hydrology, remote sensing, and modeling to quantify how climate, land use, and policy changes affect water quality, availability, and flood risk, and to develop practical mitigation strategies. His work emphasizes improving large-scale hydrologic models by representing subgrid-scale water pathways and associated physics, bridging field observations with remote-sensing datasets. Previously a senior research scientist at FM Global and a faculty member at San Diego State and UC Santa Barbara, he brings both industrial and academic perspectives to applied water-resource problems. Based in Boston, he holds a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland and is known for translating complex process understanding into scalable modeling approaches that inform policy and infrastructure decisions.
