WISE: Water resources Integrated modeling &
Smart control of Extreme weather impacts

The WISE team performs cutting-edge research in the areas of smart and resilient flood control, mitigation of violent geysers (air-water flows), optimal reservoir operation under uncertainty, sustainable stormwater management, computational hydraulics (CFD) and physical modeling of hydraulic structures. For our research projects, software, publications, teaching material, team members, and achievements click on the tabs at the top of this page. Videos of some of our representative work on each of these areas are shown below.
