About Brent
Dr. Brent Phares has over 18 years of experience in the field of civil and structural engineering. After his graduation from Iowa State University, he worked as a consultant for the Federal Highway Administration with an assignment at the Turner-Fairbanks Highway Research Center. Two of the many products of his work include (1) an evaluation of NBIS-style bridge inspections and (2) a guideline/specification manual for the ultrasonic inspection of bridge pins. These publications have had a lasting impact on bridge evaluation.
Dr. Phares returned to Iowa State in 2001 as a research engineer and has served in many leadership positions since that time, currently as a bridge research engineer and research associate professor, where he oversees multiple researchers and more than 20 graduate students. Additionally, he collaborates with faculty from across Iowa State University, the United States, and beyond. Dr. Phares is known as an international expert in the use of quantitative data in bridge evaluation. He has also become a national player in the field of accelerated bridge construction through his work with the Iowa Department of Transportation, where he serves as an on-demand consultant. He is known for his ability to integrate outreach into research to meet the needs of the academic community as well as the needs of transportation practitioners and other stakeholders.

Chris Rehmann
About Chris
Dr. Chris Rehmann is a civil engineer whose research in hydraulics and environmental fluid mechanics includes flooding, stormwater runoff, and groundwater. His projects include experiments and modeling of differential mixing of salinity and temperature, the interaction of turbulence and double diffusion, mixing near bubble plumes, and boundary mixing in lakes. He has also worked on river mixing by assessing acoustic measurements of velocity, turbulence, and discharge and used acoustic measurements to determine dispersion in streams. He has applied his knowledge of mixing and transport in interdisciplinary collaborations involving the fate and transport of zebra mussel larvae, pathogens, and antibiotic resistance genes in rivers. Recent work on contamination caused by flooding involves a strong focus on environmental justice.
