Professor of Hydrology and Water Management, University of Ljubljana Head of the Chair of Hydrology and Hydraulic Engineering Chairman of the Slovenian National Committee for the IHP UNESCO Head of the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Study Programme in Environmental Protection Member of the research and development work commission of UL

Professor Professor in hydraulics, specialised in numerical modelling. He has implemented various numerical models for the solution of rapid variable flow, with and without sediment transport. He also works in the experimental field with sediment transport and erosion in rivers. He has been in charge of various projects within public and private enterprises. A priority is the study of flow resistance in vegetated bends and the characterisation of turbulence in these flows.

Professor of Hydroinformatics, IHE Delft Prof. Dimitri Solomatine received his PhD from the Institute of Systems Analysis (Russian Academy of Sciences) in 1984 and he is with IHE Delft Institute for Water Education (Delft) from 1990; from 2006 he is the head of the Hydroinformatics Chair group.

Andreja Jonoski is an Associate Professor of Hydroinformatics within the Hydroinformatics Chair Group at IHE Delft Institute for water education, with teaching and research responsibilities in hydroinformatics, groundwater modelling, hydrological and hydraulic modelling, coupling of simulation models with optimisation models, decision support systems and Internet- and mobile phone-based distributed applications.

Ioana Popescu is currently Associate Professor of Hydroinformatics at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education in Delft, The Netherlands. Her research focuses on computational methods, aspects of flood modeling and vulnerability related to floods, lake and reservoir modeling and water supply systems modeling and optimisation. She is particularly interested in integrating mathematical models into decision support systems.

Gerald A. Corzo has extensive experience in modelling water resources using advanced ICT technology. Since the last four year he has been working on the use of global hydrological models ensemble and their uncertainty for climate change analysis. In 2012 he won the Tison award as young scientist from the IAHR association. His work cover extreme natural events like the research in forecasting and analyzing flood and drought by the development of hydroinformatics technologies.

Leonardo Alfonso is a Civil Engineer of the National University of Colombia. He has a combined consultancy and research experience in water modelling. He holds an MSc degree in Water Science and Engineering, specialisation Hydroinformatics at IHE Delft and a PhD degree in the same field from IHE Delft / TU Delft.
