Areas of Research

  • Food-Energy-Water Nexus
  • Hydrologic Modeling
  • Hydrologic Modeling and Data Assimilation
  • Machine Learning
  • Remote Sensing
  • Uncertainty and Risk Analysis

His research has addressed the grand challenges faced by water resources managers, stakeholders and emergency managers as how to be sure there is enough water to meet demands and protect the livelihood and properties against extreme events as populations swell and weather patterns shift due to changing climate.

Research Projects:

  • Vulnerability and Risk Assessment
  • Climate Change and Hydrology
  • Extreme Events
  • Land Data Assimilation
  • Probabilistic Drought Monitoring and Forecasting

Our research has focused on advancing our understanding of hydrologic science through modeling climate-water-human interactions as a complex system to result in sustainable management.

We are interested in characterizing, quantifying, reducing and communicating uncertainties and risks in all layers of simulation and forecasting while providing reliable hydroclimate extremes analyses under nonstationarity across spatial and temporal scales to allow understanding the impact of climate variability and change on water resources and environment.
