Classes11:117:435 Applied Instrumentation and Control (syllabus)11:117:290 Biosystems Engineering Measurements (syllabus) Research InterestsMy specific interests lie in the measurement and analysis of the various aspects of the water cycle. I am currently conducting research to develop drought prediction tools, improve water use efficiency by Agriculture, and assess aging urban water infrastructure.Current ProjectsInvestigation of Agricultural Water Use in New Jersey, (2011) New Jersey Department of Environmental ProtectionMeasurement of Sediment Oxygen Demand in Tacony Creek, Philadelphia, PA, (2011) Philadelphia Water Department Development of a Real-Time Drought Assessment Tool using the NJ MesoNet Meteorological Data, (2011) New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Total Maximum Daily Loads for Pathogen to Address Three HUC 14 watersheds in the Lower Passaic River Watershed Management Area 4, Northeast Water, (2008) New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Representative PublicationsWalsh, S. and Miskewitz, R.
