Senior🎓
Top SchoolJonathan Cohen is an associate engineer and PhD candidate in Civil & Environmental Engineering at UC Davis with eight years of experience applying quantitative and computational methods to water resources systems. He focuses on multi-scale dynamic adaptation to climate change, combining hydrologic engineering practice—most recently with the Bureau of Reclamation’s San Joaquin River Restoration Program—with academic research and teaching in optimization and computational methods. Now based in Washington, D.C., he brings domain expertise in modeling, deterministic optimization, and policy-relevant analysis while translating research into operational decision support. Colleagues value his ability to bridge rigorous PhD-level methods with practical implementation in public-sector water management.
