Department of Food, Agricultural and Biological Engineering (FABE) Associate Professor Ryan Winston recently received the 2025 Outstanding Engineering Educator award by the Ohio Society of Professional Engineering, Franklin County chapter.
The award, given out on an annual basis, is presented to a member of the engineering faculty of an ABET accredited engineering program in a school in Ohio with at least five years of experience. Nominations for the award are submitted by the dean of the engineering school.
Winston's nomination recognizes his contribution to teaching, research, professional service and outreach to the community.
Winston joined Ohio State in 2018, and his current broad and applied research program spans runoff hydrology, water quality, stream and drainage management, stormwater control measure performance, modeling of urban runoff and water quality, field-scale monitoring at small and large scales, and quantifying ecosystem services. Broadly, he is interested in economical solutions to environmental problems.
After winning the Franklin county honor, he will compete for the same award at the statewide level, which is typically announced in June.
