Vedat Batu graduated from the Civil Engineering Faculty of Istanbul Technical University (Istanbul, Türkiye) in 1969 with B.S. and M.S. degrees (combined) in the area of Civil Engineering. In the same year, he was appointed as an instructor in the Hydraulic Engineering Division of the Civil Engineering Department of Karadeniz Technical University (Trabzon, Türkiye). He received his Ph.D. in the area of Hydraulic Engineering from Istanbul Technical University in 1974. He prepared his Associate Professorship thesis in the Hydraulic Engineering area for a 1-year time period in 1976-1977 at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, USA. After submittal of his thesis and passing all required examinations, he was appointed as Associate Professor (Doçent) in the Department of Civil Engineering of Karadeniz Technical University in June 1979, and he worked as a faculty member until the end of 1982. Lastly, he was the Chairman of the Civil Engineering Department. At the end of 1982, he voluntarily resigned from his position and went to the USA. He also served as a visiting professor in several universities in the USA and in the UK and then he joined the private sector in the USA and worked mostly on environmental engineering-related projects. In Türkiye and the USA, he taught many courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels including hydraulic engineering, open channel hydraulics, hydrology, and groundwater hydraulics for over 10 years. His industrial work covers more than 30 years. Since he received his Ph.D. degree in 1974, Dr. Batu has been involved in many scientific projects and published a number of authored and coauthored papers in some internationally recognized journals including Ground Water, Journal of Hydrology, Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering, Soil Science Society of America Journal, and Water Resources Research. Dr. Batu has developed new concepts and approaches, including many analytical and numerical models in the areas of aquifer hydraulics, vadose zone hydrology, and solute transport in aquifers. Besides this book, he is the author of three volumes entitled Aquifer Hydraulics: A Comprehensive Guide to Hydrogeologic Data Analysis; Applied Flow and Solute Transport Modeling in Aquifers: Fundamental Principles and Analytical and Numerical Methods (Taylor & Francis CRC Press, 2006); and Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics: Illustrative Worked Examples of Surface and Subsurface Flows (Taylor & Francis CRC Press, 2024). The contents of these books, as well as the views of many practitioners and academicians, can be seen at www.amazon.com by searching for Dr. Batu's full name. His original papers and books are cited and used by many scientists and practitioners around the world, and these can be seen at scholar.google.com by searching for his name. Apart from practitioners in various engineering areas, these books are being used as textbooks in various universities around the world, including North America, Europe, and the Far East. Dr. Batu was appointed as a full professor in August 2008 in the Department of Civil Engineering of Yeditepe University (Istanbul, Türkiye). Currently, he is with Argonne National Laboratory, Lemont, Illinois, USA.

Vedat Batu 於1969年畢業於土耳其伊斯坦堡技術大學（Istanbul Technical University）土木工程學院，獲得土木工程領域的學士及碩士學位（合併）。同年，他被任命為土耳其卡拉登茲技術大學（Karadeniz Technical University）土木工程系水利工程組的講師。他於1974年在伊斯坦堡技術大學獲得水利工程領域的博士學位。1976年至1977年間，他在美國威斯康辛州麥迪遜市的威斯康辛大學（University of Wisconsin, Madison）準備其副教授論文。提交論文並通過所有必要考試後，他於1979年6月被任命為卡拉登茲技術大學土木工程系的副教授（Doçent），並在該校任教至1982年底。最後，他擔任土木工程系主任。1982年底，他自願辭去職位，前往美國。他還曾在美國和英國的多所大學擔任訪問教授，隨後進入美國私營部門，主要從事環境工程相關項目。在土耳其和美國，他教授了多門本科及研究生課程，包括水利工程、開放渠道水力學、水文學和地下水水力學，超過10年。他的工業工作經驗超過30年。自1974年獲得博士學位以來，Batu博士參與了許多科學項目，並在一些國際知名期刊上發表了多篇作者及合著者的論文，包括Ground Water、Journal of Hydrology、Journal of Hydraulic Engineering、Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering、Soil Science Society of America Journal和Water Resources Research。Batu博士在含水層水力學、非飽和帶水文學和溶質運輸等領域開發了許多新概念和方法，包括多種分析和數值模型。除了這本書外，他還是三本書的作者，分別為Aquifer Hydraulics: A Comprehensive Guide to Hydrogeologic Data Analysis；Applied Flow and Solute Transport Modeling in Aquifers: Fundamental Principles and Analytical and Numerical Methods（Taylor & Francis CRC Press, 2006）；以及Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics: Illustrative Worked Examples of Surface and Subsurface Flows（Taylor & Francis CRC Press, 2024）。這些書籍的內容以及許多實務工作者和學者的觀點，可以在www.amazon.com上通過搜索Batu博士的全名找到。他的原創論文和書籍被世界各地的許多科學家和實務工作者引用和使用，可以在scholar.google.com上通過搜索他的名字找到。除了各工程領域的實務工作者外，這些書籍也被世界各地的多所大學用作教科書，包括北美、歐洲和遠東地區。Batu博士於2008年8月被任命為土耳其耶迪特佩大學（Yeditepe University）土木工程系的正教授。目前，他在美國伊利諾伊州萊蒙特的阿貢國家實驗室（Argonne National Laboratory）工作。
