Background

About Caleb Mitchell

Currently, I work as a member of the NCSU Stormwater Engineering Group where I design, monitor, analyze, and teach about stormwater controls measures as they pertain to water quality and hydrology. My work includes examining the resilience of green stormwater infrastructure to floods, bioterrorism, and industrial runoff. I advise and assist M.S. and Ph.D. graduate engineering students in the stormwater group. I write and assist in the writing of grant proposals for innovative stormwater projects including flood mitigation using real time control of retention ponds, geothermal energy harvesting from permeable pavement, and monitoring and modeling of a coastal green street retrofit with tidal variability at the outlet. Historically, I have been involved with a plethora of research from drone usage in surveying, to autonomous vehicles in transportations, to sediment sampling and analysis, to water quality monitoring. I obtained, analyzed, and synthesized structural data and specifications for WVDOH Design Direction 502 Allowable Burial Depths of Thermoplastic Pipe. I have written technical papers on hydrology in West Virginia, to grant applications for raingarden implementation in Huntington, West Virginia.
