Profile - Université Laval

Research interests

My name is Daniel Nadeau, and I am a full professor in the Department of Civil and Water Engineering at Université Laval. My academic path has led me through several institutions before I was hired at Université Laval in 2015. I am passionate about nature and the environment, and I seek to better understand them in order to improve how we manage water resources. To do so, I love collaborating with colleagues from a wide range of disciplines (limnology, snow physics, plant physiology, climatology, etc.). I teach hydrology and fluid mechanics, and I have been the director of the Bachelor’s program in Water Engineering since 2022.
