My group works to understand how water transport and hydraulic connectivity affect ecology (algal blooms, nutrients, etc.) and morphological development (e.g., deltaic growth) in coastal environments. We use field work and numerical modeling in our research projects. We also build cool hydraulics experiments to share with students at Baton Rouge Schools, which is super fun. Experience with field work, programming (Matlab or other languages), or numerical modeling is a plus. Applicants from underrepresented groups in STEM are encouraged to apply in addition to students with backgrounds in non-oceanographic fields such (e.g., engineering, geosciences, physics, mathematics, etc.). All applicants will receive consideration without regard to race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, identity, or disability. I’m committed to fostering an inclusive environment within my research group and at LSU. Prospective students should know that LSU has mandatory fees, but I am committed to stipends that partially offset the additional fees to maintain a competitive stipend.
For more information please visit my website (https://matthewhiatt.wixsite.com/coastalhydrolsu) and I encourage prospective students to contact me at mhiatt1@lsu.edu with their CV and a short description of background/interest. Please express your interest for the graduate program by filling out this free pre-application form (https://www.lsu.edu/cce/graduate/docs/admission/preapplication.php).
I hope to hear from you!
