Chelsea L. Panos

Teaching Assistant Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering

Panos-Headshot-2019-300x300 Chelsea L. PanosDr. Chelsea Panos earned her Bachelor’s in Environmental Engineering, Master’s in Hydrology, and Ph.D. in Hydrology from the Colorado School of Mines between 2011 and 2020. Dr. Panos completed her dissertation under her advisor Dr. Terri Hogue. Her research investigates how growing urban populations through infill development impact stormwater runoff. Her doctorate work was funded by an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and the NSF Engineering Research Center for Re-inventing the Nation’s Urban Water Infrastructure (ReNUWIt). Panos is passionate about teaching and interested in pedagogical research including engineering education and experiential learning. Dr. Panos is committed to diversity, inclusion, and access initiatives and has served on multiple DI&A committees. She is also an ENFJ personality type who enjoys list-making, dancing, and photography.​
