Biography
Hormoz Pazwash, PhD, earned his BS, CE with highest honor among the entire graduating class of 1963 from Tehran University. He continued his graduate studies under the supervision of the late Dr. Ven Te Chow at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, earning an MS and a PhD in civil engineering. In 1970 he joined the Faculty of Engineering at Tehran University and, in the next 7 years, held the positions of assistant professor, associate professor, and chairman of the Department of Civil Engineering. His other academic appointments have included visiting professorships at the University of California, Berkeley; the University of Akron in Ohio; and an associate professorship at Northeastern University in Boston. He has also served as an adjunct professor at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. Dr. Pazwash has received various academic awards, including a fellowship at Tehran University and a Fulbright Scholarship at the University of California, Berkeley.
He is listed in the 1992–1993 premier edition of Marcus Who’s Who in Science and Engineering and the International Who’s Who of Professionals. From mid 1985 when he ventured from full time teaching at Northeastern University to engineering practice until his retirement in 2021, Dr. Pazwash has been engaged in engineering practice. In those 36 years, he has been involved with the design and consultation of drainage systems, flood control and above all stormwater management projects. He has also taught a number of senior- and graduate-level courses in the field of water resources and stormwater management at Stevens Institute of Technology.
Dr. Pazwash is the author of over 50 papers, seven books including 1st and 2nd editions of Urban Stormwater Management and a chapter of the Encyclopedia of Environmental Management, published September 2014. His professional experience covers a broad range of disciplines in water resources and hydrologic/hydraulic engineering. He has been involved in projects that include evaluation of regional water resources; the design of pipelines, channels, and culverts; hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of rivers and streams; flood control projects; reservoir and dam safety studies; and in particular the design of drainage and stormwater management systems. Dr. Pazwash is well respected in the field of engineering due to his professional accomplishments.
Dr. Pazwash had held Professional Engineering licenses in New Jersey and New York. He is a life member and Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and a Diplomat of the American Academy of Water Resources Engineers (AAWRE), D.WRE. He is also a member of the American Water Resources Association (AWRA).
