Helen Jung, Ph.D.

Dr. Helen Jung received a B.S. in Civil Engineering in 2002; an M.S. in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Water Resources in 2004; and a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering with a minor in Atmospheric Sciences in 2009 from the University of California, Los Angeles.

In fall of 2009, Dr. Jung joined the College of Engineering at California Baptist University. Her research interests include catchment response to land-cover change (including wildfire), GIS analysis, remote sensing, watershed modeling, operational flood forecasting, and parameter estimation for hydrologic models. Some of her publications include “Jung, H., T.S. Hogue, L. Rademacher, and T. Meixner, 2009: Impact of Wildfire on Source Water Contributions in Devil Creek, CA: Evidence From End-member Mixing
Analysis, Hydrological Processes” and “Jung, H., and T.S. Hogue, 2008: Integrating Soft Data to Improve Parameter Estimates in Hydrologic Models Under Acute Land Cover Change. Journal of Hydrology.”

She previously worked as an Engineer with AKM Consulting Engineers. While there she worked with GIS, H2ONET, Microstation, HEC‐RAS, and HEC‐HMS. Projects include: Master Plan of the City of Garden Grove, Master Plan of the City of Corona, storm drain design, pump station design, City of Newport Highway Improvement project, and the City of Long Beach water routing design. Jung has affiliations with the American Society of Civil Engineers, Society of Women Engineers American Geophysical Union, and
SAHRA - Sustainability of semi-Arid Hydrology and Riparian Areas.
Her recent publications in Engineering Education are: "Providing More Lab Options for First-year Female Engineering Students in Math and Engineering Courses with Lab Components", “Enhancing First Year Engineering Students Trigonometry Learning Experience" and “Growing Together with the Community through Service Learning”.

Some of her research with undergraduate students include: “Flash Flood Predictions in Dry Season using HEC-HMS" and “Improving flood predictions using Synthetic Unit Hydrograph and Peak Bulk Rate after extreme drought”.

In her spare time, Dr. Jung likes to cycle, swim, ski and kickbox. She is married to Calvin Jung and they have a son and daughter.
