Taegon Ko

I am a Ph.D. candidate and licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.), currently working at Korea Water Resources Corporation (K-water), where I have been involved since 2006 in the planning, operation, and optimisation of water transmission systems. My doctoral research focuses on integrating machine learning, hydraulic simulation, and optimisation techniques to improve failure prediction and post-burst response in looped and advanced smart water transmission networks. By combining practical field expertise with advanced computational approaches, I aim to contribute to the development of resilient and intelligent water infrastructure systems.
