Dr Ivan Stoianov, Senior Lecturer in Water Systems Engineering, has recently been awarded a 5 year EPSRC Fellowship.

The aim of the Fellowship is to develop fundamental scientific methods for the design, optimisation and control of next generation resilient water supply networks that dynamically adapt their connectivity (topology), hydraulic conditions and operational objectives.

Dr Stoianov was an invited speaker at the recent Digital Cities Summit hosted by Stanford University and Parc, where he presented and discussed the pioneering work on dynamically adaptive water supply networks that he and his team InfraSense Labs have been working on. Smart Cities urgently need smart water supply networks.
