Biography
Prof Chua is currently in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. He received his Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering from National University of Singapore, Master and Ph.D. degrees from Nanyang Technological University. He is a former winner of Emil Hilgard Hydraulic Prize, American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) (2005). He was awarded a fellowship for Post-doctoral research at LfB, Brandenburg Technical University (2000 – 2002) and a fellowship for Post-doctoral research at ISVA, Technical University of Denmark (1999 – 2000). He was awared the Shaw Foundation Scholarship for undergraduate studies (1986 – 1989). His research interests include topics in urban hydrology, water quality, erosion and sediment transport, rainfall-runoff modeling and data driven modeling approaches in hydrologic engineering. He has published over 50 top quality international conference and journal papers. He has been invited as a referee and reviewer for a number of premier conferences and journals, including Journal of Hydraulic Engineering (ASCE), Journal of Hydrologic Engineering (ASCE), Hydrogeology Journal (AGU)and Journal of Hydrology.
Research Interests
Prof Chua's areas of expertise are in urban hydrology and surface water quality. His current research works focus on rainfall runoff modeling, urban runoff water quality and sediment discharge.
