From 1986 to 1988, he studied at the University of Canterbury (New Zealand) as part of a Ph.D. project. Hubert CHANSON is Professor in Hydraulic Engineering and Applied Fluid Mechanics at the University of Queensland since 1990. His research interests include design of hydraulic structures, experimental investigations of two-phase flows, coastal hydrodynamics, water quality modelling, environmental management and natural resources. In 1999 he was awarded a Doctor of Engineering from the University of Queensland for outstanding research achievements in gas-liquid bubbly flows. Hubert CHANSON has been active also as consultant for both governmental agencies and private organisations. He is the main author of six books. Awards received: - The 13th Arthur Ippen award for outstanding achievements in hydraulic engineering (International Association of Hydraulic Engineering & Research) - 2004 award for the best practice paper in the Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering (ASCE-EWRI) See less
