Dr. Devon Kerins Welcomed to CDIC Team
Friday, 22 November, 2024
Growing up in the mountains of western Montana in the United States, Dr. Devon Kerins has always had a fascination with understanding how humans impact the environment and water resources. Using data-driven and reactive transport models, Devon’s research investigates the interactions between water flow, biogeochemical processes, watershed structure, and external forcings to understand how climate and land-use change influences terrestrial-aquatic carbon cycling and water quality.
Dr. Kerins received a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering and Biogeochemistry from Pennsylvania State University (2024), an M.Eng.Sc. in Civil Engineering from University of Galway (2016), and a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from Montana State University (2015). Prior to joining University College Dublin (UCD) and Chang'an Dublin International College (CDIC) as an Assistant Professor, Devon was a Voss Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society at Brown University. At Brown, Devon is collaborating with Dr. Daniel E. Ibarra to leverage reactive transport models and stable carbon isotopes to explore how urbanization, in comparison to less human-impacted areas, alters catchment hydro-biogeochemical functioning and drives changes in water and carbon fluxes to streams.
Devon is excited to return to their civil engineering roots and will be teaching classes on hydraulics and hydrology at CDIC in the Spring.
