Ben R. Hodges is a tenured professor in the Fariborz Maseeh Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. His research primarily focuses on the flow of water in natural and man-made environments, conducting analyses related to floods, stormwater systems, river flows, lake dynamics, and estuary circulation. He is also involved in modeling oil spills and has made significant contributions through the development of new computational methods, efficient simulation models, and geospatial analyses that aid in translating high-resolution data into practical model scales. Hodges enjoys teaching Elementary Fluid Mechanics, a course typically taken by second-year students in the CAEE program, emphasizing the complexities of analyzing systems under force and rapid deformations.
