Jian Luo is a Professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he has been a faculty member since 2006. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering from Tsinghua University in 1998, followed by a Master of Science in 2000. Luo completed his Ph.D. in 2006 from Stanford University in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. His research focuses on field, theoretical, and computational investigations of flow and reactive transport in subsurface environments. He applies computational methods and models to assess subsurface contamination and aid in the optimal design of groundwater remediation systems. Additionally, he employs geostatistical methods and inverse modeling to estimate parameters related to flow and transport uncertainty. His work also addresses coastal hydrogeology issues such as seawater intrusion and urban flooding modeling. Luo has served as an Associate Editor for the Water Resources Research Journal, focusing on hydrology topics. He teaches both undergraduate and graduate courses, including Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulic Engineering, and courses on flow and transport in porous media, as well as random fields and geostatistics.
