Lillian+C.+Jeznach

I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst working with [|Dr. John Tobiason]. I am a member of the [|reservoir water quality research group], funded by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), and study the hydrodynamics and water quality of the Wachusett Reservoir, a major drinking water supply for metropolitan Boston, MA. My research uses process based modeling to simulate the impacts of [|hypothetical contaminant scenarios] on reservoir water quality at the drinking water intake. I am also interested in quantifying the impacts of climate change ([|increasing air temperatures] and extreme precipitation events) on water quality in the reservoir.

In addition to my membership in AEESP, I am a member of the American Water Works Association, American Society of Civil Engineers, Society of Women Engineers, Association for Women in Science, and a founding member and Co-Chair of the [|UMass Graduate Women in STEM (GWIS)].
