Professor Cedo Maksimovic is a leading academic in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Imperial College London, Faculty of Engineering. He is a Principal Research Fellow and heads the Urban Water Research Group (UWRG), with affiliations to the Environmental and Water Resource Engineering group, Grantham Institute, Space Lab, and Urban Systems Lab.
His research focuses on urban water systems, including storm drainage, urban flooding, water supply, and the interaction between urban infrastructure and the environment. He has pioneered work in applied fluid mechanics, smart water infrastructure, and flood risk management, with innovations such as the AOFD method for urban surface flood modelling and intelligent sensor networks recognized by the ICE Telford Gold Medal.
His recent research, as reflected in publications, spans urban pluvial flooding, leakage detection, integrated urban water management, and blue-green infrastructure. These works emphasize computational modelling, real-time monitoring, and climate resilience in urban environments.
- UNESCO/IAHR Lecturer of the Year 2001
