Andrew Guswa , Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Engineering
Drew Guswa is a civil and environmental engineer with a particular focus on environmental fluid mechanics and hydrology. His research involves modeling the movement of water through the natural environment, with particular attention to flow beneath the ground surface.
 In 1994, Guswa graduated from Princeton University with a B.S.E. from the Department of Civil Engineering and Operations Research, and he received an award from the School of Engineering for his undergraduate thesis on modeling multiphase fluid flow. In 1995, Guswa received his M.S.C.E. from Stanford University, and stayed to pursue a Ph.D in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. As a doctoral candidate, Guswa taught courses in hydrology and water resources and mentored new teaching assistants. His research focused on the efficient prediction of the movement of substances dissolved in groundwater in environments with varying geologic characteristics.
Upon completion of his Ph.D., Guswa returned to Princeton University in the autumn of 2000 as a post-doctoral teaching fellow. He has developed a laboratory component for an introductory environmental studies course and leads discussions for that class, integrating scientific concepts with issues of policy and decision-making. His current research looks at the interactions between the time-varying nature of rainfall, the infiltration of water into the soil, and its subsequent uptake by plants. He is also involved in a project investigating the feasibility of injecting carbon dioxide into underground aquifers and oil reservoirs as a way of reducing the emissions of that greenhouse gas.
