PROFILE Candidate with extensive experiences in; open channel hydraulic, fluid mechanics, watershed management,
surface water hydrology, optimization analysis, and risk and uncertainty analysis in hydrosystem engineering.
In Addition, I was visiting researcher in Georgia Institute of Technology and studied the effect of climate change
on water quality and quantity for Chattahoochee basin in Georgia. I am seeking a position that will allow me to
utilize my knowledge while providing opportunities for learning and professional growth.
EDUCATION
March 2011 P.h.D; Water Resources Engineering- University Putra Malaysia, Malaysia.
Oct 2006 M.Sc; Hydraulic Structures - University of Tehran, Iran
Jun 2004 BA. Irrigation & Drainage Engineering - University of Birjand, Iran.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
May. 2011-Present Visiting Researcher
Georgia Institute of technology, Department Civil and Environmental Engineering - Atlanta, GA
• As visiting researcher in the Georgia Institute of Technology, I have had opportunity to do a short time
research to promote my knowledge in the case of climate change and its effects on the water quality
and quantity. This study encourages me to explore the relationship between climate changes and
water resources with considering risk and uncertainty analysis in the immediate future.
Dec 2007- Oct 2010 Graduate Research Fellowship
University Putra Malaysia, Department of Water Resources Engineering- Malaysia
• A focus on evaluation of dam overtopping risk based on univariate and bivariate
flood frequency analyses;
In this research, hydrologic risk assessment and uncertainty analysis by mathematical and
statistical methods were presented and a probability-based method was used to estimate
dam overtopping risk by applying Monte Carlo simulation and Latin hypercube as two
efficient sampling techniques. In addition to apply different mathematical and statistical
methods, various hydrological models including flood and wind models in conjunction with
univariate and bivariate frequency analyses were applied in this research. The mentioned
projects were supported by University Putra Malaysia as fundamental research grant
scheme to assess various aspects of hydrologic risk analyses in water resources
engineering.
• A focus on reservoir operation management by optimization and stochastic
simulation;
1
In this research, a reservoir operation management based on stochastic concepts is
presented. Different strategies under limited water availability conditions has been analyzed
by running an optimization model based on observed and synthetic inflows data, and the
performance indicators of each strategy is presented. Each strategy includes a minimum
requirement release in the optimization process and resulted in a specific rule curve.
Nov 2004- Oct 2006 Graduate Research Fellowship
University of Tehran, Department of Water Engineering- Iran
• A focus on the flow characteristics of rectangular broad-crested weirs with sloped upstream
face;
In order to better understand and model transport processes of flow over weirs, a
rectangular broad crested weir was built and secured across the whole width of an
experimental flume. A series of laboratory experiments was performed to investigate the
hydraulic characteristics of flow including flow surface pattern, discharge coefficient values,
approach velocity profile, and flow separation zone over various weirs with varying
upstream slopes.
