Professor Wenyan Wu has a multi-disciplinary research and teaching experience in Design Technologies, Computing and Engineering. I am a Professor in Digital design and Technology at Staffordshire University. My research expertise and interests are in intelligent monitoring, modelling, optimization in urban water infrastructure, sensing and sensor network, energy harvesting, ICT for water resource management, simulation and data visualisation. I have been awarded research funding as PI for 11 projects and as co-I for 1 project from the UK and EU funding bodies and industries and China over the years. The research funding has been awarded from EPSRC research council, FP7 European research Council, European next generation infrastructure foundation (NGI), Technology Strategy board (TSB), UK, Royal Society and Natural Science foundation of China (NSFC), industries.the water related project is listed below 1.
