Dr. Bill Chin Man MOK is a principal geotechnical engineer and

hydrogeologist of AMEC Geomatrix, Inc. in California. He graduated from The
University of Hong Kong and has worked in Hong Kong before pursuing
doctoral study at the University of California at Berkeley. His 24 years of
industry experience worldwide spans across multiple disciplines. He has
directed numerous projects supporting the design and construction of bridges,
buildings, locks and dams, nuclear facilities, power plants, tunnels, pipelines,
landfills, water and wastewater infrastructures. In addition to his consulting
practice, Dr. Mok participates actively in research and teaching. He is appointed
as a Rudolf Diesel Industry Fellow and affiliated professor at the Institute of
Advanced Study of the Technical University of Munich, an adjunct professor at
the University of Waterloo, and a part-time associate professor at The
University of Hong Kong. His current interests include surface water-
groundwater interaction, hydrogeologic characterization, soil-foundation-
structure interaction, dam erodibility, reliability and risk management, decision
support, climate change, and carbon dioxide sequestration.
