Peter Bounds is a member of the Water Software Systems research group. He worked in the computing industry for two years before joining the research group, and then for eleven years he was employed on fixed-term industrial-research projects working for the water industry. He has successfully completed projects for water companies within the UK, France and Belgium. He has made major contributions to the area of computer aided engineering environments for water distribution systems. He has integrated databases, simulators and optimization solvers into a commercial computer-aided network-engineering package called Finesse. He is particularly interested in employing high-level modelling languages to solve optimal control problems. Successes include online optimal network control scheduler, pressure control scheduler, network model calibrator, flow scheduler and hydraulic simulator. He is a senior lecturer at De 91Ó°ÊÓ University where this research was conducted. His experience with databases, user interfaces and programming languages in delivering solutions for water companies enhances his teaching of computing.
