Summary
I am an experienced hydrologist and water resources engineer with a robust academic and professional background spanning over a decade. With a Ph.D. in Hydraulic Engineering from Tsinghua University and extensive teaching experience across leading institutions such as Brunel London School North China University of Technology, University of Engineering & Technology (UET) Lahore, and National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) Islamabad, my work integrates cutting-edge research with practical hydrological applications.
My research focuses on hydrological response under changing environments, including urban hydrology, precipitation products, and sustainable water management practices. I have contributed significantly to understanding the impacts of climate change and land-use dynamics on water resources, with my work published in leading journals like Journal of Hydrology, Nature Communications, and Remote Sensing. Over the last five years, I have published 35 manuscripts, accrued an H-index of 17, and received 801 citations.
In addition to my research, I am an active contributor to the academic community, having reviewed over 450 manuscripts for renowned journals including Hydrological Sciences Journal, Water Resources Management, and npj Climate and Atmospheric Science. My expertise has been sought after for reviewing grant proposals, research projects, and theses across a range of interdisciplinary topics in Hydraulic Engineering, water sciences, geospatial analysis, and hydrological modeling.
I am particularly interested in fostering collaborations that advance our understanding of water systems under the pressures of environmental change and that drive the development of innovative solutions for sustainable water management. I welcome opportunities to serve as a reviewer for research papers, research grants, and Masters/PhD thesis evaluations, and I am enthusiastic about contributing to the global scientific discourse on water resources.
