Reza Marsooli, Ph.D.
Lab Director
Dr. Reza Marsooli is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Ocean Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology. He is also the former President of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)-Central Jersey Branch and a Board member of ASCE in New Jersey.
Maria Venolia
Ph.D. Candidate
Maria joined the lab in Fall 2020. She studies wind-generated wave climate change and variability. Her research advances the understanding of wave climate from a wave spectra perspective.
Ph.D. Student
Alauddin joined the lab in Fall 2021. Alauddin's dissertation focuses on quantifying and understanding the contribution of surface waves on long-term coastal mean sea level change and variability, using hydrodynamic and wave modeling.
Erfan Amini
Ph.D. Candidate
In Fall 2021, Erfan joined us as a Ph.D. student in Ocean Engineering. His research focuses on the benefits of natural and nature-based solutions for mitigating the impacts of storm surges and waves on coastal communities and infrastructure.
Xiaotong Feng
Ph.D. Student
Xiaotong joins the lab in Fall 2024.
Former Graduate Students
Mohammad Jamous
Ph.D. (2019-2023)

Yifan Wang
Ph.D. (2019-2022)
Now Postdoc at Rutgers University, New Jersey
Yifan's dissertation focused on flood hazards in coastal urban. She studied the effects of sea-level rise on flood hazards in New York City's built environment.
Daniel Rosenberger
Master of Engineering (2020-2022)
Now Civil Water Engineer at Arup, New York
Daniel's thesis investigated the benefits of vegetation for mitigating wave impact loads on seawalls by using a phase-resolving wave model.
