Roger A. Falconer是英國(guó)卡迪夫大學(xué)工學(xué)院的榮譽(yù)教授，英國(guó)皇家工程院院士，中國(guó)工程院外籍院士，歐洲科學(xué)院院士，國(guó)際水利與環(huán)境工程學(xué)會(huì)（IAHR）前主席。他于1976年在英國(guó)帝國(guó)理工學(xué)院獲得博士學(xué)位，先后在伯明翰大學(xué)（1977-86年，講師）、布拉德福德大學(xué)（1987-97年，教授）和卡迪夫大學(xué)（1997-2018年，教授）任職。他在水利和環(huán)境工程領(lǐng)域積累了40多年的科學(xué)研究、模型開(kāi)發(fā)及工程應(yīng)用經(jīng)驗(yàn)，并主持了大量水環(huán)境模擬方面的研究項(xiàng)目，參與了全球100多項(xiàng)環(huán)境影響評(píng)估（EIA）研究。在水利和環(huán)境工程領(lǐng)域的相關(guān)期刊及學(xué)術(shù)會(huì)議上發(fā)表了450多篇論文，并在國(guó)際會(huì)議上發(fā)表了40多次主題演講，同時(shí)受邀在30多個(gè)國(guó)家開(kāi)展了560多次關(guān)于城市洪水、水資源安全和潮汐能利用方面的學(xué)術(shù)講座。Falconer教授憑借其研究成果和學(xué)術(shù)影響力，獲得了諸如IAHR的Ippen獎(jiǎng)、英國(guó)皇家工程院（RAEng）個(gè)人成就銀質(zhì)獎(jiǎng)?wù)?、英?guó)土木工程師協(xié)會(huì)（ICE）Telford Premium等獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)，以及2022年度中國(guó)政府友誼獎(jiǎng)。
Roger A. Falconer教授一直致力于各類(lèi)計(jì)算水環(huán)境模型的開(kāi)發(fā)及應(yīng)用，用于預(yù)測(cè)河口海岸及河道內(nèi)的水動(dòng)力、水質(zhì)及泥沙輸移過(guò)程。Falconer教授主導(dǎo)開(kāi)發(fā)的三個(gè)水環(huán)境模型（FASTER、DIVAST和TRIVAST），已被廣泛應(yīng)用于預(yù)測(cè)不同水域內(nèi)的一維、二維和三維水流運(yùn)動(dòng)和物質(zhì)運(yùn)移過(guò)程。其中DIVAST二維水動(dòng)力學(xué)模型在英國(guó)和國(guó)際上被廣泛應(yīng)用于城市洪水演進(jìn)及洪水風(fēng)險(xiǎn)評(píng)估等領(lǐng)域。這些模型已被多個(gè)國(guó)家的政府采購(gòu)，用于全球超過(guò)100項(xiàng)水環(huán)境評(píng)估項(xiàng)目中，并被18個(gè)國(guó)家的60多所學(xué)術(shù)機(jī)構(gòu)采納用于科學(xué)研究。
Brief Bio of Prof. Roger A. Falconer
Roger is an Emeritus Professor of Water and Environmental Engineering in the School of Engineering at Cardiff University, a Fellow of the UK Royal Academy of Engineering, a Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. He was President of the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (2011-15) and was made an Honorary Member in 2017. He graduated from Imperial College with a PhD in 1976, followed by positions at the universities of Birmingham (Lecturer, 1977-86), Bradford (Professor 1987-97), and Cardiff (Professor 1997-2018).
Specialized as an academic and practitioner, he acquired over 40 years of experience in applied research, development and management in water and environmental engineering. He has managed a wide range of research projects on hydro-environmental modelling and has been involved in over 100 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies worldwide. He has published over 450 papers in leading peer reviewed journals and international conference proceedings and delivered over 40 keynote presentations at international conferences and over 560 talks on flooding, water security and tidal energy in over 30 countries. Roger has received many awards for his research impact and project activities, including the prestigious: IAHR Ippen Award, Royal Academy Silver Medal, ICE Telford Premium, and the Chinese Government Friendship Award.
Prof. Falconer's research has continued in the development and application of computer models for predicting flow, water quality and sediment transport processes in coastal, estuarine and inland waters. He has developed three widely used computational hydro-environmental models, namely FASTER, DIVAST and TRIVAST for predicting 1D, 2D and 3D hydrodynamic, pollutant and sediment transport processes in aquatic basins. His DIVAST model provides one of the 2-D engines available within Flood Modeller (developed by Jacobs), which is used extensively in the UK and internationally for flood risk modelling. These models have been acquired by consulting companies and government organisations, for application to over 100 hydro-environmental impact assessment studies worldwide, and by over 60 academic institutions in 18 countries for research studies.
