SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Water@Michigan March Coffee Talk
DESCRIPTION:Talk Description: \n In the era of AI\, self-driving cars\, digital assistants\, and other “smart” things\, can the same level of autonomy and intelligence be embedded in water systems? During this coffee talk\, we will discuss what role -- if any -- these technologies should play in solving some of our greatest water challenges\, such as floods and droughts. We’ll show how to build a self-driving water system from scratch\, and we will discuss promising case studies across our region\, and beyond. Finally\, we’ll address risks\, challenges\, and nuances of bringing new tech to water management.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nBranko Kerkez\, Arthur F. Thurnau Associate Professor and Associate Department Chair for Research\n\nBranko Kerkez is an Arthur F. Thurnau associate professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at U-M. His research interests include water\, data\, and sensors. Branko is driven by the desire to both rationalize water management decisions\, and put tools into the hands of community members to allow them to contribute to those decisions. The National Academy of Engineering recognized his work in smart water systems in 2018 as a Gilbreth Lecturer. Branko’s Digital Water Lab is untangling the role of tech in water…one sensor at a time! He earned his PhD in 2012 from the University of California\, Berkeley in Civil and Environmental Engineering.\n\nAbout Water@Michigan Coffee Talks: \nCoffee Talks provide a monthly opportunity during the academic year to network\, learn about pressing and emerging water-related issues\, hear about ongoing water-related research\, and meet new partners. In 2024/25\, Water@Michigan Coffee Talks will explore the water-climate nexus.\n\nYou can register for this talk here: https://graham.umich.edu/wateratmichigan/coffee-talks
