Biography
Syed R. Qasim is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Civil Engineering. He received his PhD and MSCE degrees from West Virginia University and his BSCE degree from India. His principal research and teaching interests include water and wastewater quality; treatment processes and plant design; industrial pollution control; solid and hazardous waste management; and environmental impact assessment. Dr. Qasim has served nationally and internationally as a consultant with government agencies and private concerns, and has over 50 years of experience as an educator, researcher, and practitioner in the related fields of environmental engineering. He is the recipient of many distinguished research awards, including a Fulbright Fellowship; an invited participant by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) under the Transfer of Knowledge through Expatriate Nationals (TOKTEN-India) program; and a reviewer of concept papers and research proposals for the National Science Foundation and many national and international organizations. Syed Qasim Endowed Professorship was established in the Environmental Engineering area of the Civil Engineering Department to honor his service to the department, as well as furthering the Environmental Engineering profession. Dr. Qasim has authored/co-authored five books, over 200 technical papers, encyclopedia and book chapters, and research reports, and has conducted over 50 short courses, seminars, and training programs nationally and internationally. Dr. Qasim is a life member and Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers, a life member of the Water Environment Federation, a member of the American Water Works Association, and a registered professional engineer in Texas.
Habib Ahmari is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). He received his Ph.D. in Hydrotechnical Engineering from Queen’s University, Canada, and his M.Sc. and B.Sc. degrees in Civil Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Iran. He is a licensed professional engineer in Texas, USA, and Ontario, Canada. Dr. Ahmari’s principal research and teaching interests include hydraulics and hydrology, sediment transport and stream geomorphology, and stormwater management and nonpoint source pollution. He has more than 20 years of experience as an educator, researcher, and practitioner in environmental water resources engineering. He has served nationally and internationally as a consultant with government agencies and private organizations, and has led research projects funded by federal and state agencies. He regularly reviews proposals and manuscripts for national and international funding agencies and journals. Dr. Ahmari has authored or co-authored one book, two book chapters, more than 40 peer-reviewed technical papers, and numerous research reports. He has also contributed to professional training, seminars, and outreach programs in water resources engineering. He is an active member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR).
