In this enlightening episode, Amit Gajurel sits down with Benjamin D. Fennell, P.E., a professional engineer and educator with a wealth of experience in water resources and environmental engineering. Benjamin's career spans across key roles at Strand Associates, Inc., where he has worked on water, wastewater, and stormwater design and evaluations. His expertise covers a broad spectrum, from surface and groundwater treatment to hydraulic and water quality modeling, water distribution infrastructure, and much more. But Benjamin's contributions to the field extend beyond his professional roles. As an instructor at the New York City Department of Environmental Protection and the University of Louisville, he has shared his profound knowledge on hydraulics, hydrology, and environmental engineering, shaping the minds of future engineers. Benjamin is also a published author, with several journal and professional articles to his name. He has presented his research at numerous conferences and has been invited to deliver seminars at prestigious institutions. In this conversation, Benjamin shares his insights on the current state of water resources and environmental engineering, the challenges and opportunities in the field, and his vision for a sustainable future. Whether you are an engineer, a student, or simply someone interested in the intersection of engineering and sustainability, this episode is a must-listen. Join us as we dive into the depths of engineering and its impact on our world with Benjamin D. Fennell.

Rohan is a graduate student at Texas A&M University, pursuing a doctorate in Civil Engineering, a master's in Computer Science, and a graduate certificate in Geographic Information Sciences (GIS). His research involves leveraging Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Geospatial Analysis for advancing Disaster Informatics, focusing specifically on Flash Flooding.  In his term as a graduate student so far, he has developed an Information Retrieval system (Internet search engine) for past flash flood events in the US. He has also developed a GIS tool for assessing flash flood susceptibility at the community level. He is currently working on developing a micro-database for past flash flood events using multi-label text classification and custom-Named Entity Recognition. He believes his research would provide more resources and tools to emergency planners and decision-makers to better mitigate the flash flood risk and make communities more resilient. He is also actively involved in student organizations that advocate for students' voices, doing his bit to make the often neglected voice of graduate students heard. He currently serves as the Speaker/Executive Vice President of the Texas A&M Graduate and Professional Student Government and also as the president of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Graduate Student Association. In these organizations, he conducts senate meetings and is currently working on improving the mental health of graduate students in his university, making his organizations more credible, and ensuring that when the administration decides on issues affecting graduate students, they involve graduate students.
