Immediately after completing his Ph.D. thesis, he started the position of Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at Texas A&amp;M\u00a0University. He is currently an Associate Professor and the &#8220;John and Dorothy Shea Early Career Chair&#8221; in <a href=\"http:\/\/cee.usc.edu\/faculty-staff\/faculty-directory\/patrick-lynett.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Civil Engineering at University of Southern California<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>His research interests are directed towards a better understanding of coastal processes, such as nearshore circulations, wave evolution from generation to the shoreline, multi-scale hydrodynamic interactions, and sediment transport. He combines numerical modeling with both controlled experiments and field observations. Short time-scale coastal hazards, such as hurricanes and tsunamis, are of particular interest.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Lynett was a member of the 2005 International Tsunami Survey Team to Sri Lanka, the 2005 Hurricane Katrina Coastal Impacts Survey Team sponsored by ASCE, the post-tsunami survey team in American Samoa in 2009, and numerous surveys throughout the Pacific after the 2011 Japan tsunami. He has been awarded research grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Texas Sea Grant Program, the Office of Naval Research, and private industry.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2003, he has been a Primary Investigator (P.I.) or co-P.I. on research and equipment grants totaling US$8.2 million, including three large, collaborative NSF research grants of over $1 million each, of which he was the lead investigator in two. Notable awards include the Department of the Army Commander\u2019s Award for Public Service given for Dr. Lynett\u2019s post-Katrina work, and a prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship in 2010.<\/p>\n<h3>Links<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/coastal.usc.edu\/plynett\/\">Lynett Wave Research Group website<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Sample publications<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Lynett, P., Weiss, R., Renteria, W., De La Torre Morales, G., Son, S., Arcos, M., and MacInnes, B., \u201cCoastal Impacts of the March 11th Tohoku, Japan Tsunami in the Galapagos Islands,\u201d Pure and Applied Geophysics,doi: 10.1007\/s00024-012-0568-3, 2012.<\/li>\n<li>Lynett, P., Borrero, J, Weiss, R., Son, S., Greer, D., and Renteria, W. \u201cObservations and Modeling of Tsunami-Induced Currents in Ports and Harbors,\u201d Earth and Planetary Science Letters, v. 327\/328, pp. 68-74, doi: 10.1016\/j.epsl.2012.02.002, 2012.<\/li>\n<li>Son, S., Lynett, P., and Kim, D.-H., \u201cNested and Multi-Physics Modeling of Tsunami Evolution from Generation to Inundation,\u201d Ocean Modelling, v. 38 (1-2), p. 96-113, doi: 10.1016\/j.ocemod.2011.02.007,2011.<\/li>\n<li>Kim, D.-H. and Lynett, P., \u201cTurbulent Mixing and Scalar Transport in Shallow and Wavy Flows,\u201d Physics of Fluids, v. 23 (1), doi:10.1063\/1.3531716, 2011.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Department of Civil Engineering, University of Southern California Patrick Lynett received three B.S., M.E. and Ph.D. degrees from Cornell University at\u00a0the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
