BIO
Prof. Evina Katsou is a leading expert in Water and Environmental Engineering and is Chair Professor at Imperial College London. She leads the Resilience & Sustainability group, consisting of 25 postdoctoral researchers and PhD students, integrating advanced digital tools, AI, and data-driven models to pioneer sustainable and resilient solutions across water, wastewater, and other industrial sectors.
With a focus on AI-based water and environmental solutions, Prof. Katsou has led over 40 R&D projects, coordinating and acting as Principal Investigator for 27 of them. These projects, such as SMART-Plant, DEEP-Purple H2020, HYDROUSA H2020, SAFELOOP Horizon Europe (HEU), INBLANC HEU, STREAMS HEU, BLOW HEU, C-FOOT-CTRL H2020, INTCATCH H2020, BL2F H2020, i-WAYS H2020, WATERMINING H2020, RESILEX HEU, SYMBIOREM HEU, R3VOLUTION HEU, CSSBOOST HEU, THESEUS HEU, BIORECER HEU, CRONUS HEU, ACCELERATE HEU address challenges in wastewater treatment, resource recovery, renewable energy, and the development of decision-making tools across various industries.
Prof. Katsou has authored over 120 peer-reviewed publications, contributed to 12 book chapters, and delivered more than 150 presentations at international conferences. Her work significantly advances circular economy frameworks, greenhouse gases monitoring and mitigation strategies, and sustainability and resilience methodologies.
Prof. Katsou co-leads the Action Group on Intelligent and Smart Systems within the ICT4Water Cluster, chairs two working groups in Cost Actions, serves as co-chair of the IWA Small Water & Wastewater Systems Specialist Group, and is a key member of the drafting team for the new ISO standards on Circular Economy (ISO 59020). Her interdisciplinary work bridges sustainability, circularity, and resilience assessment methods, advancing pathways to net-zero emissions and supporting data-driven decision-making models across multiple sectors.
