Witold F. Krajewski is the Rose & Joseph Summers Chair in Water Resources Engineering and Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Iowa. He holds concurrent appointments as Faculty Research Engineer at IIHR—Hydroscience and Engineering, Iowa Flood Center, and Center for Global & Regional Environmental Research. His academic career at the University of Iowa spans over three decades since joining in 1987.
- PhD in Water Resources Systems (Warsaw University of Technology, 1980)
- MS in Environmental Engineering (Warsaw University of Technology, 1976)
His research focuses on flood prediction, hydrology, hydrometeorology, radar and satellite remote sensing, and water resources systems. Current work examines radar-rainfall uncertainty impacts on streamflow simulation, ensemble data assimilation for streamflow forecasting, and flood inundation mapping using synthetic simulations.
Recent research trends show strong emphasis on quantitative precipitation forecasting evaluation, distributed storage network management for flood mitigation, and advanced statistical assessment of national water models. His work integrates remote sensing technologies with hydrological modeling to improve flood forecasting capabilities.
Scientific recognitions include:
- Fellow of American Geophysical Union
- Fellow of American Meteorological Society
- Leadership roles: Past-Chair of Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc., Past-Editor of Advances in Water Resources
Prof. Krajewski actively contributes to hydrological education through web-based modeling frameworks and maintains affiliations with multiple research centers at the University of Iowa. His research involves extensive collaboration with NOAA and NASA's GPM mission for ground validation activities.
