Dr.
Witold F. Krajewski is the Rose & Joseph Summers Chair of Water
Resources Engineering at the University of Iowa. He is Professor
in the Department of Civil & Environemental Engineering and
Research Engineer at IIHR-Hydroscience & Engineering. In 2009
he was appointed Director of the Iowa Flood Center.
He
received his M.S. (1976) and Ph.D. (1980) from Warsaw University of
Technology, Poland, in environmental engineering and water resources
systems. He was a Research Hydrologist at
the Office of Hydrology of the National Weather Service until 1987 when
he joined The University of Iowa.
His scientific interests concern multiple aspects of
rainfall measuring, modeling, forecasting, and estimation using radar
and satellite remote sensing. His current
research focuses on understanding the genesis of floods through field
experimentation and modeling, and quantification of uncertainty in
hydrologic prediction at a range of temporal and spatial
scales. He has published over 140 papers
in refereed journals.
Dr. Krajewski is Fellow of the American Geophysical Union
and the
American Meteorological Society. He has
served on numerous committees and panels of these and other
