My Profile

About

Philip Roberts is Professor Emeritus of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His professional interests are in environmental fluid mechanics, particularly its application to the design of outfalls for disposal of wastewaters and desalination brine. He has extensive international experience in marine wastewater disposal including outfall design, numerical modeling, and analysis of oceanographic field study programs. Dr. Roberts’ mathematical models of dispersion have been adopted by the U.S
