Dr. D.P. Solomatine

Associate professor in Hydroinformatics, PERSONAL INFORMATION

Dimitri P. Solomatine received the engineering degree (equivalent to MSc) in Systems Engineering from the Moscow Aviation Institute (University) in 1979. In 1979-1990 he worked at the Institute for Systems Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, first as a junior researcher, and from 1986 as a senior researcher. He received the Ph.D. degree in Systems and Management Sciences in 1984.

At that time his main interests involved interactive structural modelling, machine learning, decision support systems and software engineering. He actively collaborated with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (Austria).

He was also involved in several national-wide projects of the State Committee of Science and Technology, and the Academy of Sciences, including 'Improving the management of large-scale regional complexes' and 'Informatization of society'. In 1988-89 he was involved in the IT consultancy for multinationals including MONTEDISON and Hewlett-Packard.

In 1989-90 he spent a year as a researcher in the Delft University of Technology.

Since March 1990 he is a staff member of the Hydroinformatics section of IHE-Delft. His responsibilities include teaching, performing the functions of a course leader of the Masters Course in Hydroinformatics (on a rotational basis), participation in the capacity building projects abroad and research.
