Assistant Professor
Old Dominion University
Dr. Navid Tahvildari is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Old Dominion University. His current research focuses on computational and analytical modeling of generation and propagation of gravity waves, computational modeling of storm wave and surge interactions with the natural and urban landscape, vulnerability assessment of coastal infrastructure to extreme and recurrent flooding, and quantifying wave dissipation and reduction in shoreline erosion by nature-based shore protection features. His research has been funded by the Virginia Sea Grant, the Virginia Department of Transportation, and the Department of Transportation. Dr. Tahvildari received his Ph.D. in civil engineering with coastal and ocean engineering focus from Texas A&M University. Prior to joining ODU, he was a postdoctoral scholar at the Environmental Fluid Mechanics Laboratory in Stanford University.
