NORMAN, OK — Garver Water Practice Area Teams Manager Evan Tromble, Ph.D., PE, has been inducted to the inaugural Civil Engineering and Environmental Science (CEES) Academy at the University of Oklahoma (OU). An exclusive honor for alumni and affiliates of CEES whose professional and service contributions distinguish their careers, CEES membership is by invitation only.
A subject matter expert in water resources, hydraulics, water conveyance, distribution and collection system modeling, transient analysis, and system master planning, Tromble oversees national resource teams focused on water resources, hydraulic modeling and system planning, asset management, program management, collaborative project delivery and project implementation, and SCADA automation.
He completed his doctoral degree in civil engineering at OU in 2011, producing a dissertation focused on the development and application of numerical methods to finite element analysis of complex free-surface flow problems. In that same year, he began working at Garver as a Project Engineer on the Oklahoma Water Team. It was not long before he was regarded as a technical resource on hydraulic modeling and was promoted to leadership positions, first on Garver’s Water Technology Team, then on the Water Infrastructure - Modeling, Analytics, and Planning Team, and then to his current position.
Tromble, a licensed Professional Engineer in 10 states, has also taken on being a mentor for younger engineers.
