In this episode of Engineering Legends, Chris Burke sits down with Professor Ashlynn Stillwell of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to discuss her path into engineering, her academic career and her groundbreaking research at the intersection of water and energy, work that is helping shape the future of sustainable infrastructure.
The conversation explores the hidden energy costs of water loss, how emerging technologies can help identify leaks in water distribution systems, and the challenges of managing stormwater entering sanitary sewers. Professor Stillwell shares how a better understanding of the relationship between water and energy can transform the way we design, operate and maintain infrastructure, making our communities more efficient, resilient and sustainable for generations to come.
