Offer Description
The EngD candidate will work under the EU funded ToDrinQ project. The overall objective of the ToDrinQ project is to support the implementation of the revised Drinking Water Directive and to significantly enhance the scientific and technical knowledge on drinking water quality protection, monitoring and treatment by developing and testing a compendium of modular complementary innovations, including novel real time sensing and water quality parameters technologies, and interoperable, easy to deploy decision tools that support resilient, evidence-based treatment plant design and improved overall water system operational awareness and risk-based response.
The successful candidate will develop computer methods and tools to provide evidence-based advice to water supply operators, and will design and develop innovative modules supporting operators, by providing alarms, system information and intervention pathways for risk mitigation, and will furhter develop an integrated (but modular and flexible) platform able to support operators in monitoring and controlling their drinking water systems.
The ToDrinQ project consists of many partners all over Europe, including academia, technology providers and end-users.
