Background

About Reshmina William

I am a water resources engineer passionate about using data science as a multi-disciplinary tool to empower communities to sustainability shape their environments. Currently, I am a senior project manager at Isle Utilities (USA). I am a former STPF fellow at the Advanced Manufacturing Office at the Department of Energy, where I helped improve the energy efficiency and sustainability of wastewater and water reuse projects across the United States. I also served as the Science, Technology, and Policy Judicial Fellow, where I acted as a science expert and science communicator to the federal judicial branch. During my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I worked with a team of lawyers, geologists, landscape architects, and community organizers to study the impact that green infrastructure performance has on stormwater resilience in urban environments. I also have two years of experience as a Design Engineer for TERRA Engineering, Ltd. in Chicago, IL, where I led the design of a web-based tool to allow engineers and city planners to work together to holistically evaluate green solutions for stormwater management. My interests lie at the intersection of engineering, law, policy, and the arts as avenues for science communication.
