Dr. Mellor is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. He received his PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of Virginia in 2013. At UMass Dartmouth he teaches courses focusing on water resources, environmental engineering and sustainability. He also serves as the Faculty Advisor for our Engineers Without Borders student chapter and advises students on their Senior Design Projects. His research has focused on how to improve resiliency to climate extremes in New England and abroad. He has developed novel systems approaches to reduce restoration times for electric utility companies in Connecticut and to study how climate change impacts water security and its subsequent impacts on health and food security in low-income countries. Prior to joining UMass Dartmouth, he taught at the University of Connecticut, was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Yale University and was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Uganda.
