  • Biography/ Background

    One of the main contributions of Dmitri's research work has been the development of Bayesian Total Error Analysis (BATEA) - a comprehensive framework for parameter estimation and probabilistic prediction accounting for data and model uncertainties. BATEA is currently applied in hydrological modelling, including in the operational seasonal forecasting system of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. Additional appplications are developing in river system modelling, irrigation modelling and other areas of environmental engineering.

    Dmitri's broader interests include mathematical modelling of surface and subsurface hydrological systems, development of numerically robust rainfall-runoff and snow models, and more generally the design of robust and computationally efficient numerical algorithms for nonlinear differential equations and for nonlinear optimization.

    Dmitri's international collaborations include the Swiss Federal Institute for Aquatic Science and Technology (EAWAG), CEMAGREF (Paris and Lyon, France), US National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Environmental Hydraulics Institute of Cantabria (Santander, Spain), and other institutions worldwide.

    From 2012 onwards, Dmitri joined the School of Civil, Environmental and Mining Engineering at the University of Adelaide.
