| | | | Research | Mr. Georgas is a Senior Research Engineer and a PhD candidate at The Center for Maritime Systems (CMS) at Stevens. His main interests are numerical modeling and forecasting, hydrodynamics, and water quality of inland and coastal waters. He has participated in a variety of coastal engineering studies around the eastern seaboard of the United States, involving feasibility, impact evaluation, use-attainability, TMDL/WLA/LA, BMP, and dredging assessments, by designing and coupling hydrodynamic, sediment transport, and water quality models. At CMS, Mr. Georgas is responsible for the continuous development and daily forecasts of the New York Harbor Observation and Prediction System (NYHOPS: www.stevens.edu/maritimeforecast).
