Top SchoolDavid Rheinheimer is a water resources engineer with 11 years of interdisciplinary experience applying systems analysis, hydro-economic modeling, and GIS-enabled tools to improve river and hydropower planning under competing demands and climate change. He has led development of collaborative modeling platforms (OpenAgua) and novel hybrid simulation-optimization models that integrate high-resolution hydrology and electricity market dynamics for real-world basin-scale planning. His career spans academia, federal and state government, and NGOs, including recent work at the Colorado River Board of California and multi-year research appointments at UC Merced and Tec de Monterrey. David teaches and advises at graduate and undergraduate levels and blends coding (Python, web development) with economic and environmental analysis to make modeling outputs actionable for managers. A practical innovator, he has studied hydropower trade-offs from the Three Gorges to the Sierra Nevada, pairing field-aware data work with policy-relevant system optimization.
