Zheng N. Fang received the Ph.D. degree in civil and environmental engineering from Rice University, Houston, TX, USA, in 2008. He is currently an Associate Professor with the Civil Engineering Department, University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX, USA. As a Texas licensed PE, he has been actively working on surface water and groundwater problems for over 17 years including floodplain studies, hydrologic/hydraulic modeling, water treatment, hydrodynamic simulation, storm water management modeling, and water quality assessment for a number of watersheds and areas in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, California, and Louisiana. He has been conducting quality research in the areas of inland flood prediction and hurricane-induced storm surge, urban hydraulic prediction tool- floodplain map library (FPML), advanced radar-based flood warning system, dynamic moving storm (DMS) generator and stochastic storm transposition (SST), climate forecast-aided drought decision support, integrated sensing and prediction of urban water, evaluation of urbanization and infiltration, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) enabled data collection system for hydrology and hydraulics. Dr. Fang is a contributing member to the state emergency operations during Hurricane Harvey (2017) for the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the Texas Medical Center (TMC), Rice University, and the U.T.
