Urban water systems modeling
Camilo Andres Salcedo is a Project Scientist at the California Institute for Water Resources (CIWR), specializing in modeling urban water systems. His work includes analyzing the effects of water conservation regulations on wastewater systems throughout California and investigating ways to enhance the resilience of drinking water systems against natural disasters, such as wildfires.
Camilo earned his bachelor's degrees in civil and industrial engineering, as well as a Master of Science in water management and hydroinformatics, from Universidad de los Andes in Colombia. He has experience in the design and analysis of urban water systems using simulation and optimization tools, both as a consultant and a researcher.
Prior to joining CIWR, Camilo obtained his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from The University of Arizona, where he developed methodologies for efficiently collecting information to enable the timely detection, confirmation, and forecasting of contamination events in real-time within water distribution networks. He is passionate about formulating and implementing innovative solutions for urban water infrastructure, leveraging techniques from operations research and data science to enhance the resilience and efficiency of these systems while protecting water quality and quantity.
