Christopher Strand (Civil and Environmental Engineering)
Christopher Strand is currently an undergraduate student at Florida International University pursuing his Bachelor of Science in civil engineering, along with a professional certificate in environmental and water resources. He expects to graduate in May 2017 and will then continue his education in pursuit of a master’s degree in environmental engineering. His professional interests include environmental hydrology, water supply and resources engineering, GIS systems, sustainable engineering, and renewable energy. Christopher is a member of Research Internships in Science and Engineering (RISE); the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists (AAEES); the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE); and the Tau Beta Pi Engineering Honors Society.
DOE Related Projects
Christopher is a DOE Fellow at the Applied Research Center (ARC) under the mentorship of Dr. Mehrnoosh Mahmoudi. Christopher is currently working on geographic information systems (GIS) to provide the imaging and analysis of radioactive contamination and dissipation within the Savannah River Site (SRS) watershed. Experimenting with this tool among other computer modeling platforms will assist in determining the fate and transport of the SRS contaminants.
