Dr. Uber conducts research in the area of environmental and water resources systems analysis. His work involves the development and application of numerical methods, and mathematical optimization approaches, for the simulation, design, control, and operation of complex environmental and water resource systems. Dr. Uber has focused applications of his research to water quality problems in water distribution networks (WDNs), where hydraulic dynamics, chemical kinetics, and microbial ecology come together. He is currently investigating distributed feedback control systems for regulating disinfectant residuals; optimal design methods for locating and operating booster chlorination stations; data analysis approaches for estimating in-situ chlorine decay kinetic parameters; and chemical reaction dynamics models for predicting disinfectant residual and by-product formation in distribution systems.
