Additionally\, the presentation will cover both exi sting commercial products and ongoing research efforts in academia and ind ustry.\n\nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Sudhir Kshirsagar\, President of Global Q uality Corp.(GQC)\, has leveraged his unique educational background (B.Tec h. in Electronics from IIT Kharagpur\, MS in Computer Science from IISc Ba ngalore and Ph.D. in Environmental Systems Engineering from University of Illinois – Urbana) and his vast consulting and product development exper ience to create the HydroTrek smart water product series that uses Interne t of Things (IoT)\, On-premise and Cloud Computing\, and deep machine lear ning. HydroTrek products integrate IoT sensor data for smart modeling of w ater and wastewater systems\, what-if modeling of stormwater LID controls\ , advanced river spill modeling and harmful algal bloom monitoring and eve nt detection in lakes. GQC also develops IoT hardware for environmental se nsing and provides low cost IoT telemetry options. He participates in the activities of several professional societies including ACM\, IEEE and AWWA \, and chairs the Smart Water Technologies track committee at EWRI-ASCE.
