Portrait of Rebecca Scheetz
BS Graduate
Civil Engineering

During her time at CU, Rebecca contributed to several multidisciplinary projects spanning the fields of construction management, structural engineering, geotechnical engineering and engineering hydrology. Rebecca's masters thesis research under Drs. Yida Zhang and Harihar Rajaram focused on developing numerical solutions to multiphase flow problems, which has applications in many branches of science and engineering including soil science, agricultural engineering, environmental engineering, petroleum engineering and groundwater hydrology. When not working or studying, Rebecca prefers to spend her time outside.
