KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

William W.G. Yeh, PhD
Richard G. Newman AECOM Distinguished Professor of Civil Engineering UCLA

Dr. Yeh (葉文工) pioneered the development of large-scale optimization models that utilize systems analysis techniques to plan, manage, and operate several of the nation's large-scale water resources systems. The methodology and algorithms he developed for the real-time operation of complex, multiple-purpose, multiple-reservoir systems have been adopted in the U.S. and throughout the world, most notably in Brazil, Korea, Taiwan, and the People's Republic of China. Additionally, Yeh pioneered the development of nonlinear inverse algorithms for parameter identification in groundwater hydrology. The methodologies and algorithms that Yeh developed for parameter estimation likewise have been widely adopted in groundwater modeling. more
