Thomas Kjeldsen is a Professor in the Department of Architecture & Civil Engineering at the University of Bath. He leads multiple research projects funded by organizations such as The British Council, Royal Academy of Engineering, and The Leverhulme Trust. His research focuses on extreme events, machine learning, hydrological modeling, and nature-based solutions. He is affiliated with centers including the Water Innovation and Research Centre (WIRC), EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Statistical Applied Mathematics (SAMBa), and the Institute for Mathematical Innovation (IMI).
- Research Interests: Extreme events, machine learning applications in hydrology, flood risk management, and civil engineering resilience.
- Key Projects: Development of rainfall frequency models for infrastructure design, flood reconstruction using historical data, and capacity-building for South African flood studies.
His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action and clean water. Recent studies emphasize non-stationary hydrological analysis, urban flood modeling using machine learning, and interdisciplinary approaches to water resource management.
Activities include advising doctoral students, organizing academic events (e.g., British Hydrological Society Symposium), and serving on external committees like Affinity Water. His research has been widely cited and featured in policy discussions and international media.
