Vladimir Novotny<\/strong> is a Professor Emeritus at Northeastern University where until 2012 was a CDM-Smith Chair Professor of Environmental and Water Resources Engineering and Director of the Center for Urban Environmental Studies. From 1973 through 2002 he taught and conducted research at Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI. Between 2009 till 2014 he was a founding member of the International Water Association (IWA) Cities of Future Committee. He received two Fulbright Scholar (Italy, Czechia) Awards and was elected a member of The International Water Academy (Oslo, Norway). He is now a parttime partner in AquaNova LLC. He was was a visiting professor at the University of Venice, University of Padova and Pavia in Italy, Capital Normal University (Beijing, China) and Beijing University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, and University of Chemical Technology in Prague (Czech Republic).He received his undergraduate and graduate degree from the University of Brno in former Czechoslovakia and PhD degree in environmental and water resources engineering from Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN (USA).<\/p>\n

In 1991 Dr. Novotny founded the Specialist Group on Diffuse Pollution and Eutrophication of International Water Association (IWA) for which he received from IWA the Sam Jenkins Medal award in 2002. Diffuse (nonpoint) pollution and water quality have been cornerstones of his research and publishing for forty years and he published in this field ten books and more than 1750 peer reviewed journal and conference proceedings articles and book chapters.<\/p>\n

In 2006 he organized a workshop on Cities of the Future which was held at the F.L. Wright built Wingspread Conference Center and was attended by leading experts from several countries.\u00a0 Cities of the Future is now an acronym for a worldwide movement of water specialists, landscape architects, urban planners and NGOs towards a paradigm change, resulting in planning, building and retrofitting\u00a0 urban areas that would reduce water use, restore and protect water resources, and use energy without adversely contributing to the global climatic changes. He published four books and made numerous keynote presentations on this 21st<\/sup> century defining topic in China, Japan, Democratic Korea, Europe, Canada, Czech Republic, Belgium, Italy and the US. In 2012 was selected by the US Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists to present endowed Kappe lectures on urban decarbonization and Cities of the Future at 10 American universities. His current research and publishing activity focuses on urban decarbonization and management of integrated water, renewable energy, and solid waste conversion to resources.<\/p>\n

He received research grants from National Science Foundation, National Research Council, US Environmental Protection Agency (STAR Watershed and Exploratory Research Programs), Venicia Nuova and University of Venice, US Department of Agriculture, The Wisconsin Foundation for Independent Colleges, Water Resources Center (University of Wisconsin), and International Joint Commission (Windsor, Ontario).<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
