Alvar Escriva-Bou is an assistant professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Davis. His research uses systems approaches to explore integrated water, energy, food and environmental resources management. Specifically, he focuses on the integration of the human dimension in these socio-environmental systems, linking engineering and economic models to assess drought impacts, improve urban and agricultural resilience, or analyze policy outcomes and tradeoffs. Prior to joining UC Davis, Alvar was an assistant professor at UCLA, and previously, a senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California. Early in his career, he worked as a civil engineer, managing and developing large infrastructure projects in Spain. Alvar holds a PhD and MS in water and environmental engineering and a BS in civil engineering from the Polytechnic University of Valencia in Spain, as well as an MS in agricultural and resource economics from the University of California, Davis.
