Erhu Du
【Bio】
Erhu Du earned his PhD from Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He is interested in applying models and tools in hydrology, social science, economics, and machine learning to understand the complex relationships in coupled human and natural systems. In particular, he developed agent-based models to evaluate the impacts of human behaviors on the management of water resources systems during floods and droughts.
