Professor and Louis Berger Chair
BIOSKETCH:
Steve Chapra presently holds the Louis Berger Chair for Computing and Engineering in the Civil
and Environmental Engineering Department at Tufts University. Professor Chapra received
engineering degrees from Manhattan College and the University of Michigan and is a Fellow of
the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). In 2013, he was chosen as one of the 5
inaugural Fellows of the Association of Environmental Engineering & Science Professors
(AEESP). He has published over 150 papers, reports and software packages, and has authored
seven textbooks including Numerical Methods for Engineers, which has been adopted at over
150 universities throughout the world. He has also authored the book Surface Water-Quality
Modeling, the standard text in that area.
Before joining the faculty at Tufts, Dr. Chapra worked for EPA, NOAA, Texas A&M
University and the University of Colorado. He has also served as the Associate Director of the
Center for Advanced Decision Support in Water and Environmental Systems (CADSWES), and
has been a visiting professor or scientist at 9 institutions Duke University, the University of
Michigan, Imperial College London, and the University of Washington.
His general research interests focus on surface water-quality modeling and advanced
computer applications in environmental engineering. His research has been used in a number of
decision-making contexts including the 1978 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. He is the
recipient of 4 international best paper awards including the 1993 Rudolph Hering Medal, the
2009 Chandler-Misener Award and the 2015 Wesley W. Horner Award. He has developed
several environmentally-oriented software packages, including QUAL2K and LAKE2K, which
are widely used for river and lake water-quality modeling.
Aside from his activities in environmental engineering, he has written several texts on
computing and engineering for which he was awarded the 1987 Meriam-Wiley Distinguished
Author Award by the American Society for Engineering Education. He has also taught over 75
workshops on water-quality modeling in North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and
Oceania.
He has been recognized as the outstanding teacher at Texas A&M University (1986 Tenneco
Award), the University of Colorado (1992 Hutchinson Award), and Tufts University (2011
Professor of the Year Award). He is also the first recipient of the AEESP Wiley Award for
Outstanding Contributions to Environmental Engineering and Science Education (2000).
Finally, he was originally drawn to environmental engineering because of his love of the
outdoors. He is an avid fly fisherman and hiker. His primary professional goal is to apply
engineering, mathematics and computing to maintain a high-quality environment in a sustainable
and cost-efficient fashion and to share this knowledge with others through his teaching and
publications.
