Associate Professor
Florida International University
Arturo S. Leon is an Associate Professor of Water Resources Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Florida International University and Director of Water Resources Engineering at the Institute for Resilient and sustainable Coastal Infrastructure (InteRaCt). Dr. Leon’s research areas include optimal control of reservoir systems, numerical modeling, and experimentation of multiphase flows, resilient flood control, computational fluid dynamics, and physical modeling of hydraulic structures. Arturo has received several honors and awards, including an EPA Early CAREER award, and was inducted as a Diplomate by the American Academy of Water Resources Engineers. Arturo has developed over ten numerical models for various applications. For instance, his open-source Illinois Transient Model has been used to identify problems during rain-storm fillings of combined sewer systems in U.S. cities such as Chicago, Cleveland, and Dallas worldwide in Switzerland, France, Germany, and New Zealand.
