About

CV

I have a Ph.D. in Civil-Water Engineering, with experience working at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany. I have over 11 years of experience in teaching various courses at various levels at NTNU, TUM, etc. Besides, I have experience working for almost 5 years in the industry regarding all aspects of water engineering.

 

RESEARCH INTERESTS

Experimental, field, and numerical works related to Sediment and Flow hydraulics, Hydropower, River Engineering, Hydraulic Structures, Intelligent Systems, Soft Computing Models, Remote Sensing, etc.

 

I have been a reviewer of some journals such as:

  • Journal of Hydro-environment Research, Elsevier.
  • Journal of Scientia Iranica.
  • Ain-Shams Engineering Journal (ASEJ), Elsevier.
  • Journal of Sediment Research, Elsevier.
