The University of Georgia’s Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems (UGA IRIS) gained a new adjunct faculty member this month: Engineering With Nature Deputy Program Manager, Dr. Amanda Tritinger!
Tritinger has worked extensively with the IRIS team as part of the Network for Engineering With Nature (N-EWN), which was founded jointly by USACE and IRIS in 2019. As part of her work with N-EWN, she serves on the operations and leadership team.
Stationed at the US Army Engineering Research and Development Center’s Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory (ERDC’s CHL), she collaborates extensively across ERDC Labs, USACE Districts, and external partners. Driven by a steadfast commitment to advancing coastal resilience, her research aims to foster a more resilient future for America’s coastal communities.
Her dedication and contributions have been recognized with accolades including the ERDC’s CHL’s Team Member Award and CHL’s Achievement of Army Award in 2020, the Department of the Army’s Achievement of Army Medal in 2021, and the Department of the Army’s Commendation Medal in 2022.
In her new role as an adjunct faculty member, Tritinger will serve on committees for IRIS graduate students and participate in various research endeavors. We’re excited to see this relationship between our founding partners continue to grow!
