About

R. Valles is a leading researcher in the field of digital infrastructure management, with a primary focus on the application of Digital Twin technology to critical urban water systems. Their major contribution lies in pioneering data-driven strategies for the proactive management of sewer infrastructure, moving beyond traditional, reactive maintenance methods. Valles’s work, exemplified by the highly cited "KaSyTwin Project" (2025, 7 citations), addresses the critical challenge of sewer system degradation by proposing a framework that integrates real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and virtual modeling. This approach promises to revolutionize how cities handle flood prevention, environmental protection, and public health, shifting from manual, inconsistent data collection to a cohesive, intelligent system. By demonstrating how Digital Twins can transform the management of aging and vulnerable sewer networks, Valles is establishing a new paradigm for resilient urban infrastructure. Their research is particularly notable for bridging the gap between theoretical digital modeling and practical, on-the-ground engineering challenges, offering a scalable solution for municipalities worldwide.
