**About the Editors**

**Fi-John Chang** serves as a Distinguished Professor at National Taiwan University. He is also the Founding President of the Taiwan Hydro-Informatics Society. His academic expertise focuses on transdisciplinary fields across hydrological science, engineering, and environments. As an expert in technology revolution and the modernization of artificial intelligence, big data and data mining on hydro-informatics, he has successfully applied advanced technologies to key issues in integrated water resource management, eco-hydro-systems, water quantity/quality, etc., with research results acknowledged by international societies, including 210 papers. He was the recipient of the Outstanding Research Award from the Ministry of Science and Technology in Taiwan (2010 & 2018) and the International Award from the PAWEES (2014). He has drawn on his expertise in this cutting-edge domain in current roles as the principal investigator in governmental/NGO research projects, including the interdisciplinary studies on groundwater recharge, eco-hydrology, and flood inundation in Taiwan, as well as international collaborative projects on Food-Water-Energy (FEW) Nexus between Taiwan, USA, Japan, and Brazil and the inter-comparison appraisal of sustainable river management between Taiwan and France.
