About

E. Jansen is a leading researcher in the field of urban water infrastructure, with a primary focus on the digital transformation of sewer system management. Their most notable contribution is the development of digital twin technology for sewer networks, as exemplified by their highly cited 2025 work on the KaSyTwin project. Jansen’s research addresses a critical gap in infrastructure maintenance: the shift from traditional, reactive, and manual inspection methods toward proactive, data-driven management. By integrating real-time sensor data, hydraulic modeling, and predictive analytics, Jansen has pioneered frameworks that enable utilities to anticipate pipe degradation, optimize repair schedules, and reduce the risk of flooding and environmental contamination. Their work has garnered significant attention, with the KaSyTwin paper accumulating 7 citations within its first year—a strong indicator of its immediate impact on the field. Jansen’s research is particularly vital for aging urban systems, offering a scalable solution that enhances public health protection and operational efficiency. Their achievements position them as a key innovator in smart infrastructure, bridging the gap between academic research and practical municipal management.
