in Biological Systems Engineering from Virginia Tech in 2018. in Civil Engineering from Stony Brook University in 2016 and her M.S. He is especially interested in mathematical modeling, optimization, decision making under uncertainty, and socio-economic models. His research is exploring an existing dataset describing lead levels in private wells and identifying the characteristics of private wells that contribute to high risks of lead. He studied at Shiraz University, where he earned his B.S. She received Outstanding Reviewer Awards for ASCE journals in 2010, 2011, and 2018. Along with co-authors, she was awarded 2019 Best Seminal Paper Award, Editor’s Choice Award in 2016, and Best Research-Oriented Paper Awards in 20 for publications in the American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE) Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management. Berglund received NC State’s Outstanding Graduate Faculty Mentor Award in 2018, and she is an associate editor for the Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management. Her research also explores optimization models and algorithms to manage the sustainability, security, and resilience of complex infrastructure systems. Berglund is an expert in the development of agent-based models of sociotechnical systems to simulate feedback mechanisms and adaptive behaviors among consumers, infrastructure, and environmental systems. in 2005, and she was an assistant professor at Texas A&M University for four years before returning to NCSU. She graduated from NCSU, where she earned her Ph.D. Emily Berglund is a Professor in the NCSU Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering.

“This program provides the department with tremendous flexibility in recruiting nationally competitive graduate students and will serve the department well for decades to come,” says Dr. Finally, we take special pleasure in helping fund the award for Jon Liebman, who was my thesis advisor as well as mentor and colleague for many years at the University of Illinois.”
“We are also pleased to join Bob and Ann Borden in supporting an award for Bob, an outstanding faculty member who worked with graduate students on groundwater remediation research that has resulted in the cleanup of thousands of contaminated sites around the world. “Anne and I are delighted to join Harvey Wahls in supporting an award for him he served as director of graduate programs for many years and helped enormously in building all aspects of our program,” Brill says. This matching commitment is also available for additional contributions to any of the endowments listed above to increase the number and dollar amount of awards that can be made to students. As many as eight such endowments are possible given the Brills’ commitment of up to an additional $200,000 in matching funds. Each endowment fund will meet the $50,000 minimum using a one-to-one matching dollar commitment from Downey and Anne Brill.
There is now an opportunity for additional donors to establish such named endowments with a $25,000 or greater contribution payable over as many as five years. Roy Borden and me to support an award in his name to recognize all that he did for me during my formative years and all that he has done for the department,” Barlaz says.ĬCEE hopes to establish additional named endowed awards recognizing other faculty and donors. “As usual, Downey’s plan worked and incentivized Dr. With a goal of establishing $1 million in endowments, CCEE has garnered commitments of $520,000 in just the past two months to establish awards honoring Downey Brill, Harvey Wahls, Jon Liebman and Robert C. The minimum amount for an endowed graduate student award is $50,000. These awards will enable CCEE to offer multiyear supplemental awards to graduate students. Morton Barlaz has been working with Downey over the past 18 months to create a program that will initiate and incentivize the establishment of endowed graduate awards. Graduate program development continues to require a strong commitment to recruiting students and the ability to offer nationally competitive financial assistance to attract top students.Ĭurrent Head Dr. One of his priorities as head was to further develop the department’s program of graduate education and research. Downey Brill served as the head of the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) from 1988 to 2005 and retired from the department in 2019.
