I am a Climate Change researcher in Water Resources Planning, Management and Engineering.
I study Climate Change Impacts on Water Resources, Predict Climate Extremes, and Risk Management. My motivation is utilizing the latest Machine Learning methods for both Prediction methods and Adaptation policies.
As a Scientist, I have been focused to Research on Climate Change Impacts, Climate Extremes, Flood, Drought, Machine Learning, Deep Learning; Risk Management and Social consequences... I am also, interested in Water and Climate Ethics, and Water and Climate Migrations and Water poverty. Besides, as an Environmentalist, I am fascinated by every Novel Technology and Idea that could help the Earth and cease or decelerate Global Warming and Climate Change.
