A multidisciplinary team, led by Professor Tzahi Cath of Colorado School of Mines, has received a $1 million award from the National Science Foundation to develop an innovative monitoring and control system for small wastewater treatment facilities. Professor Hering is a co-PI on this award and will be working to develop quality control methods that will learn from the massive amount of data produced from the Mines decentralized wastewater treatment testbed in a smart and efficient way. A pilot method is already in place in which various dimension reduction methods were tested both in simulation and for real scenarios, see Kazor et al. (2016)
