Dr Guangtao Fu

I am a professor of water intelligence at the Centre for Water Systems, University of Exeter and a fellow of the International Water Association (IWA). I was a Royal Society Industry Fellow working with Northumbrian Water Limited (2017-2022) and a Turing fellow (2018-2023) at the Alan Turing Institute, the UK's national institute for data science and artificial intelligence. I have a Bachelor's degree and a Masters in Hydraulic Engineering both from Shandong University, and a PhD in Water Resources Engineering from Dalian University of Technology, China. I worked as a researcher at the University of Bristol and Imperial College London before joining the University of Exeter. I am currently serving as an associate editor for the ASCE Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management and npj Clean Water, a section editor for Journal of Water Process Engineering, and an editorial board member for Hydrology Research and Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences.

I have been recognised in the "Stanford/Elsevier Top 2% Scientists List" for five consecutive years since its inception and have consistently ranked in the top 0.5% globally in the field of environmental engineering since 2021.
