Dr. Tamim Younos earned a doctoral degree in urban and environmental engineering from the University of Tokyo. His research and educational interests include sustainable water management and water and energy nexus in urban environments.  Dr. Younos has led and/or participated in numerous interdisciplinary water research and educational projects and advised students in various disciplines including engineering, environmental sciences, geosciences, biology, economics, geography and urban planning. He has authored/co-authored more than 160 publications, edited 11 books (including 8 books in Springer Series) on water science & management topics, and has offered numerous national and international seminars, lectures and workshops.  His recognitions include: American Water Resources Association (AWRA) Mary H. Marsh Medal for Exemplary Contributions to the Protection and Wise Use of the Nation’s Water Resources; American Rainwater Catchment System Association (ARCSA) Lifetime Achievement Award for Leadership; AWRA Icko Iben Award for Interdisciplinary Communication; AWRA Fellow Award; Fulbright Scholar Award; President, Universities Council on Water Resources (UCOWR); and Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS) Award.Dr. Tammy E. Parece is an Assistant Professor of Teaching with The Ohio State University, where she mainly teaches geospatial technology courses.  She has a Geospatial and Environmental Analysis PhD from Virginia Tech.  Her research includes the physical and social evaluations of urban areas for urban agriculture.  She has published several book chapters and journal articles, and presented many conference papers, related to urban agriculture.  Additionally, she specializes in geographic education, including geospatial technology courses.  Her publications include book chapters, journal articles, and several technical and laboratory manuals related to geospatial technology education.  She has taught numerous professional development workshops in geospatial technologies. Additionally, she taught at Colorado Mesa University, both traditional geography courses and geospatial technology courses, from 2016 - 2022, and developed their Geography Education and Outreach Program.Dr. Juneseok Lee is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Manhattan University, specializing in Water Infrastructure Systems Analytics. His research has been supported by major grants from the National Science Foundation, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, California Water Service Company, and Hewlett-Packard. He has co-authored or edited five books and published over 100 technical works in peer-reviewed journals, book chapters, and conference proceedings. Dr. Lee received Best Paper Awards from the American Water Works Association and the American Society of Civil Engineers in 2018, 2020, and 2022. He holds a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Virginia Tech, is a licensed Professional Engineer in California, and is a board-certified Water Resources Engineer (BC.WRE) with the American Academy of Water Resources Engineers. Dr. Lee is also a Fellow of both the Environmental Water Resources Institute and the American Society of Civil Engineers.
