Hong, Seung Ho
Assistant Professor - Civil and Environmental Engineering
Education
Ph.D., Civil and Environmental Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013
M.S., Civil and Environmental Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, 2005
B.S., Civil Engineering, Hanyang University, South Korea, 2002
Dr. Hong received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Civil Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. After a postdoctoral research position at Georgia Institute of Technology, he joined the Faculty at West Virginia University as an assistant professor. Dr. Hong’s research expertise lies in environmental fluid mechanics and water resources engineering, with an emphasis on the sediment-water interface in natural watercourses and the hydrodynamic processes that occur sediment suspension/transport and local bridge scour. Furthermore, he has been working on hydrologic issues such as reduction of highway runoff volume and pollutant during extremely hydrologic events and updating state hydrologic forecast models.
Dr. Hong holds a professional engineering license (PE) registered in Ohio. If you are interested in experimental, computational and field studies for pursuing M.S. and/or Ph.D. degree in the field of hydraulics and hydrology, feel free to contact me.
