Work Experience:
Physical Modeling Experience - includes a fixed-bed model sediment tracer
testing of the Mississippi River Passes for evaluation of methods for reduction
in dredging requirements at the Head of Passes, a model study of the Columbia
River Entrance channel for evaluation of the effects of channel deepening on
salinity intrusion and channel shoaling. Extensive testing was performed on the
historical physical model of New York Harbor-Hudson River Estuary Model.
Numerical Modeling Experience - includes participation in the development of
hybrid modeling techniques and the development of the TABS-MD modeling system of
the Corps. Specific numerical model applications include the Columbia River
Hybrid Model Study, numerous studies in New York Harbor, Grand and White Lakes,
LA Flood Control Study, Caenarvon, LA Freshwater Diversion Study, Prince William
Sound, AK Navigation Study, San Francisco Bay Long Term Management Strategy (LTMS),
San Francisco Bay, John F. Baldwin Navigation Study, Passaic River, New Jersey
Tunnel Diversion Study, Atchafalaya Bay Revaluation Study, and the Davis Pond
freshwater diversion

Numerical Modeling Techniques for the Barataria Basin and the Lower Mississippi
I will
present some highlights of 2D numerical hydrodynamic modeling of the Mississippi
River Passes and of the Davis Pond freshwater diversion study, where simulations
were made to attempt to optimize the water levels within the ponding area for
the diversion structure.
