Open Channel Hydraulics

Dr. A. Osman Akan, Emeritus Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Old Dominion University received his BSCE from the Middle East Technical University and MS and PhD from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana.? During his over 40 years of service in academia as a teacher, researcher, and faculty administrator, Dr. Akan published numerous journal articles, book chapters and textbooks.? He received awards from the ASCE for two of his journal articles.? The proposed book would be the sixth textbook Dr. Akan has authored or co-authored.? He was a registered PE in the Commonwealth of Virginia until he retired in 2016.? Dr. Akan is an ASCE Fellow. Dr. Seshadri S. Iyer, is a Senior Water Resources Engineer at HDR, Inc. He graduated BS in Civil Engineering from Bangalore University, Bangalore, India (1982), received his Masters from Indian Institute of Technology, Madras in Hydraulic Engineering (1984), and Ph.D. from the Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia (1996). Dr. Iyer has over 35 years of domestic and international professional and research experience in the field of water resources engineering. Dr. Iyer’s experience spans project management, hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) analysis, scour analysis, transportation drainage systems, watershed modeling and preparation of master plans. Dr. Iyer is on the board of the Watershed Management Technical Committee and is involved in developing Manual of Practice for TMDL Analysis and Modeling. For over 10 years Dr. Iyer serves as an Adjunct Faculty at the Old Dominion University and teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in Urban Stormwater Hydrology, Hydraulic Engineering, Open Channel Hydraulics, & Groundwater Hydraulics.
