Ing. Vojtěch Bareš, Ph.D.
My focus is primarily related to the field of urban drainage and urban hydrology. In the last decade, my main research interests have been in rainfall monitoring for urban hydrology, including uncertainty propagation and new concepts for rainfall monitoring based on estimating rainfall intensities from signal attenuation in telecommunication networks. I also publish my work on monitoring and modelling physico-chemical variables in urban catchments, e.g. modelling tracer transport for estimating exfiltration/infiltration from sewers or predicting inflow to WWTPs. I am also involved in experimental fluid mechanics, in particular in the hydraulics of key structures in sewer systems (drop shafts, CSOs, etc.) and last but not least in "leisure" hydraulics of artificial rivers or stationary surf waves.
