Dr. Yee-chung Jin earned his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Alberta, Canada. He was employed by the Atomic Energy of Canada (AECL) for two years as a Hydrogeologist before he joined the University of Regina in 1990. The University of Regina in 2000 appointed Dr. Jin as a tenured full professor. He is the chair of Environmental Systems Engineering program at the University of Regina. He is also a journal reviewer for American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering (CJCE) and research grant application reviewer for NSF (USA) and NSERC (Canada). Dr. Jin has published over 45 referee papers in ASCE, CJCE, Journal of Hydrology, Journal of Hydraulic Research (JHR) and other journals. He also published over 60 technical papers in various conferences. He has guided 7 PhD theses, 40 Master theses on Environmental Systems Engineering. Dr. Jin’s research interest includes: the use of depth-averaged equations for the prediction of flow and mass transport in open channels, the effect of the secondary flow in modeling the contaminant transport in rivers, studies on transverse dispersion in rivers, the bed shear distribution in open channels, modeling bed variations in alluvial channels, model one-dimensional unsteady water flow through unsaturated swelling soil, modeling the advective and dispersive mass transport in groundwater systems using finite element method, hydrological modeling of watershed, and modeling/monitoring the contamination movement along highways due the application of deicing salt.
