Billy Raseman defended his PhD dissertation in May 2019. In Billy's thesis, he researched and developed modeling and optimization techniques to make drinking water treatment safer, more resilient, and cost-effective. His work is motivated by the increasing strain on the water sector due to population growth, aging infrastructure, climate change, and stringent regulations. Specifically, Billy developed a decision support tool that combines advances in stochastic water quality, water treatment modeling, multi-objective optimization, and visual analytics, to enhance treatment operations. In the process, Billy contributed to the USEPA Water Treatment Plant Model and managed the development of --an open source, interactive visualization library for multi-objective decision-making. Before coming to CU, he earned the BS in Civil Engineering from Notre Dame in 2014. Afterwards, he served as the Country Director of SPOUTS of Water–a social enterprise which manufactures affordable, household water filters in Uganda. In his spare time, he enjoys running, rock climbing, singing, and playing guitar.
