W3 Seminar: A nature-based academic journey in ecological engineering

Details

Dave Tilley, Associate Professor, Department of Environmental Science and Technology, University of Maryland

Join Dave as he shares a reflective 24-year journey through his contributions to ecological engineering. Committed to enhancing environmental quality and human well-being, he has navigated the diverse intersections between nature and technology. He will present research on topics ranging from the utilization of treatment wetlands in aquaculture to the energetic and ecological dynamics of green roofs and walls. Delving into energy, environmental accounting, and ecological entrepreneurship, Dave will provide a realistic view of achieving social impact through nature-based innovation and practices. Concluding with insights into the role of artificial intelligence in shaping a sustainable future, this lecture shares an intellectual odyssey launched from an education in systems ecology at the University of Florida.
