Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Hamilton is a Senior Water Resources Optimization Engineer with 11 years of experience applying data analytics, machine learning, simulation modeling, and optimization to improve operations and planning for water and wastewater utilities. He blends client-focused project delivery with R&D on engineering software at Confluency, following a postdoc in decision analytics and a PhD in environmental sciences and engineering. His background spans computational modeling from polymer physics to environmental risk and practical field and geospatial analyses for regulatory and restoration projects. Based in San Diego, he pairs strong academic credentials (PhD, dual masters) with hands-on tool development and interdisciplinary collaboration, often translating complex models into operational solutions for utilities. An under-the-radar strength is his ability to move between theory and implementation—turning research-grade analytics into production-ready tools that inform real-world water management decisions.
