Biography
Dr. Cristiane (Cris) J. Queiroz Surbeck, P.E., F. EWRI, ENV SP, is a Senior Associate Engineer with GSI Environmental, with 30 years of experience in the areas of water resources, soil and groundwater remediation, stormwater, wastewater, drinking water, and sustainable infrastructure. She has served as an expert witness and works with government and private clients to solve complex problems. She served for 16 years as a faculty member at the University of Mississippi (UM), most recently as Chair and Professor of Civil Engineering and Associate Dean of the School of Engineering. She served as President of the Environmental & Water Resources Institute (EWRI) of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in 2018. She is the recipient of three ASCE awards and several UM School of Engineering awards related to scientific research, excellence in teaching, and professional service. At UM, she led the chapter of Engineers Without Borders on projects and trips to Togo, West Africa. She has work experience in the US, Latin America, Africa, and Europe, and speaks English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French. She received a B.S. degree in civil engineering from the University of Maryland, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in environmental engineering from the University of California, Irvine.
Dr. Jeff (Jih-Fen) Kuo, P.E., worked in environmental engineering industries for over ten years before joining the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at California State University, Fullerton, in 1995. Areas of research in environmental engineering include dechlorination of halogenated aromatics by ultrasound, fines/bacteria migration through porous media, biodegradability of heavy hydrocarbons, surface properties of composite mineral oxides, kinetics of activated carbon adsorption, wastewater filtration, THM formation potential of ion exchange resins, UV disinfection, sequential chlorination, nitrification/denitrification, removal of target compounds using nanoparticles, persulfate oxidation of persistent chemicals, microwave oxidation for wastewater treatment, landfill gas recovery and utilization, greenhouse gases control technologies, fugitive methane emissions from the gas industry, and stormwater runoff treatment. He received a B.S. degree in chemical engineering from National Taiwan University, an M.S. in chemical engineering from the University of Wyoming, an M.S. in petroleum engineering, and an M.S. and a Ph.D. in environmental engineering from the University of Southern California. He is a professional civil, mechanical, and chemical engineer registered in California.
