Biography
Dr.
Julien is a
Registered Professional Engineer with more
than 40 years of experience in the field of sediment
transport and river engineering. He
developed state-of-the-art computer models in
hydrology and hydraulics for the simulation of
water, sediment and contaminant transport at the
watershed scale. He improved sediment transport
calculations in rivers with fast numerical solutions
of the Einstein integrals. He contributed to the
analysis of sedimentation in reservoirs, river
dynamics and local scour. He completed projects for
more than 50 different professional organizations
and governmental agencies including the World Bank,
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the US Army Corps
of Engineers, the US Bureau of Reclamation, and the
US Environmental Protection Agency. He
was a speaker and moderator at the World Water Forum
and served as Editor of the ASCE Journal of
Hydraulic Engineering. He delivered more than 25
keynote addresses at International Conferences.
Dr.
Julien completed his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering at Laval
University in the field of hydraulics. He pursued
post-doctoral studies in sedimentation at Colorado
State
University in 1983. He became Faculty
Affiliate
(1983-1985), Assistant Professor (1985-1989), Tenured
Associate Professor (1989-1994), and Tenured Full
Professor (1995-). He served as Associate Dean for
International Research and Development (2006-07).
Dr.
Julien received the 2004 H.A. Einstein Award for his
research in sedimentation and river mechanics. He
also delivered the 2015 Hunter Rouse Lecture of the
ASCE/EWRI in 2015. He
authored more than 600 scientific contributions including
two textbooks, 35 book chapters and lecture manuals, 190
refereed articles in scientific journals, 250 professional
presentations, and 150 technical reports. Under his
guidance, 40 Ph.D. and 110 Masters students completed
their graduate degrees in Civil and Environmental
Engineering.
