He studied engineering in Belgrade, Serbia before venturing to Australia to obtain his PhD from Monash University in the field of urban stormwater and blue-green infrastructure in 2018. Since first joining UNSW in 2018, he has been working on modelling and validating the effectiveness of urban stormwater mitigation options (infrastructure and policies) on pollution levels, through exploratory and integrated model approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his PhD research, Veljko worked on Integrated multi-functional urban water systems, focusing on the interdisciplinary challenges in delivering green sustainable urban water infrastructures capable of treating various sources of wastewater (most notably greywater and stormwater). His work involved developing and testing new green water treatment technologies such as&nbsp;Green walls for greywater reuse. Veljko is involved in different national and international projects on using vegetated water treatment technology to clean and reuse different sources of wastewater. He is continuously striving to find innovative ways of utilizing his diverse set of skills to improve performance of these systems and engage with stakeholders to communicate new knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His other past and present research topics include stormwater quality modelling and sensitivity analysis, design of water infrastructure, agricultural water reuse, and promoting community inclusive sustainable infrastructure. He has also recently become a managing editor of the International Water Association Journal Blue Green Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources Related to the Episode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We refer to <strong>Prof. Ana Deletic<\/strong> who was our guest in <strong>Episode 9<\/strong> &#8211; you can <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petermbach.com\/index.php\/podcast\/009-ana-deletic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">check out her episode<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The terminology trend for nature-based solutions\/green infrastructure, especially from previous episodes continues, key terminology papers which provide an overview\u2026\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fletcher, T.D., Shuster, W., Hunt, W.F., Ashley, R., Butler, D., Arthur, S., Trowsdale, S., Barraud, S., Semadeni-Davies, A., Bertrand-Krajewski, J.L. and Mikkelsen, P.S., 2015.
