The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) is a private, independent, nonprofit institution that provides engineering leadership by promoting a vibrant engineering profession through the participation of eminent engineers. Dr. Witold Krajewski is joining a group of more than 2,000 peer-elected members who are among the world’s most accomplished engineers to provide expertise for numerous projects focused on relationships between engineering, technology, and the quality of life.
Dr. Krajewski has been a Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering and Research Engineering at IIHR—Hydroscience and Engineering at the University of Iowa sine 1987. He is also the founding director of the Iowa Flood Center, where science based information and technology about flooding is made accessible to Iowa’s decision makers, emergency managers, home- and business-owners, and the general public through their Iowa Flood Information System (IFIS). The online tool communicated real-time information about stream levels, flood alerts and forecasts, and hydraulic conditions and has been accessed by more than 3.5 million users. His accomplishments in education, research, and public service have led to his reception of one of the highest honors in the field of engineering.
