I specialize in hydrology, exploring various elements of the water cycle, analyzing extreme hydrological events like floods and droughts, and delving into water resources management. My focus lies in understanding the effects of climate change on precipitation patterns, flood severity, and how water resources infrastructure can be leveraged to alleviate the impact of climate-driven natural hazards. This involves land-water modeling and surface hydrology, exploring factors such as streamflow, evapotranspiration, and soil moisture. To conduct my research, I employ hydrological modeling, machine learning, deep learning techniques, and utilize diverse datasets, including weather information, global climate models, and remote sensing data.
