About
Diana Varela Rojas is a leading researcher at the forefront of digital infrastructure management, specializing in the application of Digital Twin technology to urban water systems. Her primary research focus lies in revolutionizing the maintenance and operation of critical sewer infrastructure, moving away from traditional, reactive approaches toward proactive, data-driven strategies. As the principal investigator of the KaSyTwin Project, Varela Rojas has pioneered a comprehensive research strategy that integrates real-time sensor data, predictive modeling, and virtual simulation to create dynamic digital replicas of sewer networks. This groundbreaking work addresses the pervasive challenges of system degradation, inconsistent data collection, and inefficient manual inspections. Her most cited paper, "Digital-Twin-Based Management of Sewer Systems: Research Strategy for the KaSyTwin Project" (2025), has already garnered 7 citations, signaling its immediate impact on the field. By enabling continuous monitoring and predictive maintenance, Varela Rojas’s contributions are poised to significantly enhance flood prevention, environmental protection, and public health outcomes, establishing her as a key innovator in smart urban infrastructure management.
