Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHung Nguyen is an assistant professor and hydrology researcher with nine years of experience probing the water cycle using tree-ring paleoclimate proxies, climate and hydrological models, and remote sensing. He combines field‑scale insights and long-term historical perspectives—collaborating with historians and archaeologists—to understand how societies have been impacted by and adapted to water variability. Prior roles include postdoctoral research at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and technical leadership in large-scale wastewater and water treatment projects, where he delivered measurable operational improvements and energy savings. His training spans PhD work in engineering systems and design and master’s degrees in hydraulic engineering from Delft and NUS, giving him both theoretical depth and practical process-engineering chops. Based in Urbana, Illinois, he applies lessons from past climates to inform resilient water management under future climate change. A less obvious strength is his proven ability to translate academic research into tangible operational innovations and cost-saving programs in industrial settings.
