Dr. Donald D. Gray is Associate Professor and Group Coordinator for Environmental and Hydrotechnical Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at West Virginia University. He is an award winning instructor who regularly teaches the first course in fluid mechanics as well as other courses to students ranging from freshmen to doctoral candidates. Previously he taught in the School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University and before that was a member of the Heat Transfer and Fluid Dynamics Department at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He has been a principal lecturer in more than a dozen short courses on the design of alternative sewers and urban stormwater systems.
Dr. Gray is the author or co-author of more than 110 papers and reports on various aspects of fluid mechanics. These include buoyancy effects, environmental flows, gas-liquid hydraulics, groundwater modeling, and hydrologic processes. His research projects have been sponsored by NASA, the Air Force, the Navy, the Department of Energy, and several state agencies and private companies. Dr. Gray holds a Professional Engineer license and has consulted for Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Airvac, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the National Clay Pipe Institute, and others.
Dr. Gray belongs to several technical societies and has been active in various technical committees of the American Society of Civil Engineers. His service includes a term as Chairman of the ASCE Hydromechanics Committee. He is a graduate of Tulane University (B.S.E.(M.E.)) and Purdue University (M.S.E. and Ph.D.).
