Michel Boufadel is a Lebanon-born American environmental engineer, known for his work on oil spills and coastal systems. His expertise includes oil spill experiments and modeling, fluid dynamics, energy management, and development of novel scientific codes such as MARUN (marine unsaturated model), VDROP, and NEMO3D. As of 2020, he is the professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). He is also the director of the Center for Natural Resources in NJIT.
