Dr Magdalena Bieroza
Senior Research Associate
Research Summary
My research interests concentrate mainly on catchment hydrology (water quality, C, N, and P cycling), water treatment (potable water quality, water supply), modelling and dissemination of environmental data using statistical analysis, geomatics (GIS, remote sensing), and advanced computing technologies. I am also interested in intelligent data processing systems (analysing and solving complex planning and optimisation problems), computer assisting systems in decision-making processes in environmental sciences using artificial neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, decision trees and fuzzy logic, and data-mining of complex environmental databases. An important part of my research has been focused on advanced computational techniques for analysis of large environmental datasets, including continuous online measurements of water quality (Carstea et al., 2010), pattern-recognition and calibration of high-dimensional water quality data (Bieroza et al., 2009, 2010), long-term water quality datasets and spatial data (Howden et al., 2010), and spatial data analysis using GIS technologies.
