Water is necessity that humans cannot live without. Despite this, accurate water quality data is not widely accessible in real-time, which is a detriment that can impact public health and aquatic ecosystems. Assistant Professor of Computer Science Ahyoung Lee is working to fill in these gaps using a bacterial monitoring and forecasting system that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI), real-time monitoring, and predictive analytics to provide water-quality information and predict potential bacterial outbreaks.
