James C.Y. Guo received his PhD in Water Resources from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. Since 1982, he has been a teaching and research faculty at the University of Colorado Denver, and serves as the Director of the Hydrology and Hydraulics Graduate Program. Dr. Guo is also a registered licensed professional engineer and actively participates in real world design and planning projects. He has over 30 years of experience in hydrology, hydraulics, water resources, and groundwater modeling. Dr. Guo's approach is to apply the concept of system to the development of hydrologic methods for engineering designs and analyses. He also incorporated these new algorithms into practical design charts, procedures, and computer software models. Many of his publications have been adopted by the urban drainage manuals used in Colorado, Nevada, and California for stormwater designs.
Dr. Guo is the author of numerous technical articles, training notes, conference proceedings, and is in demand as a speaker at technical meetings and training seminars in the areas of flood mitigation and stormwater management.
