Prof. Phanikumar S. Mantha
Biography
Dr. Phanikumar Mantha is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Michigan State University, USA. His research emphasizes water quality and environmental flow and transport processes. Recent questions addressed involve fate and transport of chemical and biological agents in different hydrologic units in the Great Lakes region of North America. His research combines data from field observations with computational models to gain insights into complex biophysical processes, make predictions in managing natural resources and frame policy.
Prof. Thorston Wagener
Biography
Dr. Thorston Wagener, a member of the European Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers, in January 2021, took up his position as a Humboldt Professor at the University of Potsdam. He is the head of the working group for the Analysis of Hydrologic Systems. Within this group, both empirical and process-based parsimonious models are developed, evaluated and utilized to simulate and understand the water cycle across space and time scales. And, knowledge gaps in hydrology are identified by assessing how knowledge accumulates in datasets, theory and literature.
Prof. Hamid Moradkhani
Biography:
Dr. Hamid Moradkhani is a Professor in the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alabama, United States. He is also the founding director of the Center for Complex Hydro systems Research. His research focuses on hydrologic modeling and data assimilation, climate change and natural hazards, remote sensing, and machine learning. His work addresses the fundamental challenges faced by water resource managers, stakeholders, and emergency managers; particularly how to ensure sufficient water supply and safeguard livelihoods and property against extreme events amid growing populations and shifting weather patterns driven by climate change.
Prof. Iman Hajirasouliha
Biography:
Dr. Iman Haji Rasouli ha is a Professor of Structural Engineering and the Head of the Earthquake Engineering Group at the University of Sheffield. He has over twenty years of research and consultancy experience in areas such as steel structures, lightweight modular systems, earthquake engineering, performance-based design, structural optimization, and innovative strengthening methods, and has published more than 250 scientific papers. Since 2020, he has been recognized as one of the top 2% of scientists in his field worldwide, according to the Stanford University and Elsevier database.
