Emily Berglund
Professor
Forecasting Landscape and Environmental Change, Water Infrastructure Systems
Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering
Bio
Emily uses geospatial analytics to investigate the spatial character of socio-technical systems, in which human decision-making affects resource availability and infrastructure performance as resource and infrastructure systems affect human decisions. She develops agent-based models of sociotechnical systems to simulate feedback mechanisms and adaptive behaviors among consumers, infrastructure, and environmental systems. Her interests include optimization models and algorithms to manage the sustainability, security, and resilience of complex infrastructure systems––particularly those managing household water, stormwater, and solar power.
