Graduate Research Assistant
Villanova University
Wisdom Akatu is a Doctoral Researcher at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, USA. He has a master’s degree from the University of Oxford, UK in Water Science, Policy and Management at the School of Geography and the Environment. Prior to joining the Villanova Center for Resilient Water Systems research group, Wisdom had worked as an Environmental Consultant for the past nine (9) years on several pre-feasibility and bankable feasibility projects across various sectors. Wisdom’s current research work focuses on Storm Management Practices (SMP) and its influence on urban watersheds as a whole. He is particularly interested in the effect of sediment dynamics on the sustainable function of SMP in order to ensure resilience and longevity through proper designs and maintenance requirements. He has also been involved in employing numerical models to analyze the impact of morphological changes on the performance of SMPs.
