Jae Hyun Ryu, PE
Jaehyun Ryu graduated from the Konkuk University (Seoul, Korea) in 1996
with a B.S. in Agricultural Engineering. While completing his
undergraduate degree, Jae worked at the National Institute of Environmental
Engineering (Tsukuba, JAPAN) as a research assistant, gaining experience
with natural systems for rural wastewater using artificial wetlands.
In the fall of 1999, he became a graduate student of the Civil and
Environmental Engineering Department of the University of Washington.
Currently, he is a Research Assistant working with Dr. Richard Palmer with
the intention of obtaining a Ph.D Degree.
The first Jae's research
at the UW has focused on developing a water quality (eutrophication) model
associated with nutrient loading in the King Abdullah Canal, located in
Jordan. Specifically, he developed a model identifying the key
sources of water pollution in the King Abdullah Canal, and evaluated several alternatives in order to reduce the algae bloom from
both the economic and technical points of view. Jae’s water quality
model was built in both Qual2e (http://www.epa.gov) and MIKE11 (http://www.dhisoftware.com).
Most recently, Jae has also involved the Columbia River
Risk Assessment Project. Currently, Jae's research
is focusing on the use of mid-range climate forecasts (such as NSSIP/NASA or NCEP/CPC/NOAA forecasts) for managing a regional watershed affected by climate variability. These forecasts are used to define the extent of potential droughts and to provide operational guidance.
