David Thompson’s Summary
I am a licensed professional engineer in Texas and Missouri, and a Certified Floodplain Manager. My experience spans more than 30 years working on civil engineering, hydraulics, and hydrologic projects. While at Texas Tech University, I served as chair of the graduate committee of about 30 students and served as a second reader on many others. I was the principal investigator on many projects with research expenditures exceeding $5M and supporting many colleagues and students. Much of my work is presented in any publications, including refereed journal articles, reports, conference papers, and formal presentations. I remain active in the research community and intend to remain active for the remainder of my professional career.
