Academic Accomplishments

Sep 2010 – January 2013

Research Assistant in Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran.

  • For my Master of Science thesis, we studied hourly time series of NO2, CO, O3, and PM10 at each Tehran AQCC (Air Quality Control Company) stations, which suffers from a sever air pollution issue. We developed a model to forecast hourly pollutant levels k hours ahead (1, 2, 3, ...,72) in AQCC stations using non-linear autoregressive model with exogenous input (NARX). Moreover, the second purpose of our study was to assess whether relevant meteorological parameters, such as, Monin-Obukhov length, mixing height and stability classes can improve multi-step-ahead prediction of model. We developed a preprocessor to calculate these parameters based on predictable meteorological data.
  • For the projects of “numerical method in hydrology engineering” course under supervision of Dr. Aataei, I wrote some MATLAB and Mathematica codes to solve following problems numerically:
  • -One dimensional advection and the advection-diffusion equation employing FTCS scheme, CTCS scheme, and Crank-Nicolson method.

    -Two dimensional diffusion equation using Crank-Nicolson and ADI method.

    -Two dimensional laplace equation using finite element method.

  • For the projects of “Water Resource Quality Management” course, I worked on a project to evaluate water quality in Zarinerood River under supervision of Dr. Tajrishi.
  • Modelling of gravity current produced by lock exchange to assess horizontal speed of front current in environmental hydrodynamic laboratory under supervision of Dr. Jamali.
