罗杰·福克纳，中国工程院外籍院士、英国皇家工程院院士、欧洲科学院院士、环境水力学专家。也是卡迪夫大学荣休教授，河海大学、长江保护与绿色发展研究院讲席教授。罗杰·福克纳教授主要研究方向有水环境影响评估；洪水风险建模和减灾；潮汐和河流可再生能源装置和结构研究；全球水安全分析。他通过集成和整体数学模型开发和应用，开创了从流域到海岸（C2C）的水管理解决方案；他还开发了用于预测供水接触池消毒过程的模型CONTANK，并与相关公司合作开发了用于预测一维与二维洪水高度和淹没范围的改进模型。罗杰·福克纳教授已在与水利工程相关的期刊和会议发表了400余篇论文。

Roger Falconer is a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the European Academy of Sciences, and a renowned expert in environmental hydraulics. In 2022 he was awarded the Chinese Government Friendship Award – “the People's Republic of China's highest award highest award to foreign nationals.” He holds the title of Emeritus Professor at Cardiff University and serves as Chair Professor at Hohai University, as well as at the Yangtze Institute for Conservation and Development. Professor Falconer's primary research areas encompass water environment impact assessment, flood risk modeling and mitigation, research on tidal and river-based renewable energy devices and structures, and global water security analysis. Through the development and application of integrated and holistic computational models, he has pioneered water management solutions from catchment to coast, known as C2C. He has also developed CONTANK, a model that predicts the disinfection process in water contact tanks, and collaborated with industry partners to refine models for predicting one-dimensional and two-dimensional flood heights and inundation extents. Professor Falconer has authored over 400 peer-reviewed papers in journals and conferences focused on hydraulic engineering.
