Innovative Research in Environmental and Transportation Engineering by Ph.D. Candidates

This document highlights the research contributions of two Ph.D. candidates from the University of Maryland. Poornima Natarajan's dissertation focuses on evaluating the transitional performance of a wet infiltration basin aimed at managing highway runoff, addressing water quality improvements and stormwater management. Woon Kim is developing a freeway traffic incident management support system that integrates optimized response strategies and predictive models to mitigate traffic congestion. Both candidates exemplify dedication to their fields and sustainable engineering solutions.

  1. Wylie Dissertation Fellows 2013 PoornimaNatarajan Ph.D. Candidate Advisor – Dr. Davis Track: Environmental I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at University of Maryland, College Park. I received my Master’s degree in Environmental Engineering from University of Maryland in 2008 and obtained Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from India in 2006. I am a recipient of the A. James Clark fellowship (2009), the I-95 Corridor Coalition fellowship (2010), and the Clark School’s Future Faculty fellowship (2011) during my graduate studies at University of Maryland. My dissertation topic is “evaluation of transitional performance of a wet infiltration basin managing highway runoff.” This field-scale research focuses on determining the functionality and effectiveness of a failed infiltration basin in reducing storm water runoff flows and providing water quality improvements in the runoff. Woon Kim Ph.D. Candidate Advisor – Dr. Gang-Len Chang Track: Transportation This fellowship gave me a new strength and motivation to keep up my long-run achievement, when I was about to doubt my academic achievement. I will strive to finish my research in time and be a proud "Ph.D." mom. I am working on the development of a freeway traffic incident management support system which consists of the optimized in response strategy, the prediction model of incident duration, and the detour decision support model. A well developed and operated freeway incident management support system which integrates the aforementioned components would play a critical role to mitigate incident-induced congestion so as to yield enormous socioeconomic and environmental savings.
