Advisors:
Dr. Czuba is an Assistant Professor of Watershed Engineering in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering at Virginia Tech. His research program extends collaboratively across multiple disciplines to advance the understanding of riverine ecosystems and their response to human and natural forces. The core of his research focuses on sediment transport in rivers and river-floodplain interactions. Previously, he was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Indiana University, Bloomington. Dr. Czuba has a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, an M.S. and B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and over 5 years of experience working for the U.S. Geological Survey in Illinois and Washington State.
Dr. Jonathan Czuba, P.E.

Emily is an agricultural/civil engineer with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Christiansburg, VA. Emily recently joined NRCS to serve the local community through design and implementation of conservation practices. Previously, she worked as a research scientist focused on the management of water resources in agricultural systems as a member of the Easton Lab Group in the Biological Systems Engineering Department at Virginia Tech. Emily received a Ph.D. and M.S. in Biological Systems Engineering from Virginia Tech in 2017 and 2014, and a B.S. in Biological Science from William and Mary in 2010.
Dr. Emily Bock, E.I.T.
