Casey Dietrich is an Assistant Professor in the Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering Department at North Carolina State University. His research focus is on the computational modeling of coastal hazards, including hurricane waves and storm surge along the Gulf coast. These models have been used for levee design by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and for floodplain risk assessment by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He has also applied these models in an operational framework to forecast oil transport following the BP spill in 2010.
