research
The goal of my research is to improve understanding of the mechanisms that shape hydrological processes, considering interactions among hydrology, human activities, and ecosystem services.
My work links field data with advanced process-based and data-driven modeling techniques to enhance our understanding of hydrological and soil erosion processes. I have focused on the development and refinement of models and data analysis using hydrometeorological data across various spatial scales (plots, hillslopes, catchments, and continental) through laboratory experiments, field studies, and remote sensing-based research.
I have also been conducting research on water security, analyzing the impacts of climate change and land-use/land-cover changes on hydrological processes. Part of my research focuses on promoting soil and water conservation, reconciling the water-food-energy nexus, and supporting the development of resilient infrastructure through sustainable drainage systems.
Research Focus Areas: Hydrology; Catchment hydrology; Surface and groundwater interactions; Soil erosion, Water-food-energy security; Ecohydrology; Water resources engineering.
