Research Areas

  • Hydroclimatology and Water Resources Eng
  • hydrological extremes
  • Statistical hydrology
  • Climate model evaluations
  • Climate dynamics
My research interest is at the intersection between hydrology and climate extremes, with particular emphasis on statistical modeling of ranges of hydroclimatic extremes while relating these statistical properties to physics and dynamics of the atmosphere. My research focuses on modeling and estimation of hydroclimatic events in multivariate context, which can help more accurate assessment of risk of extreme events, especially droughts, low flows and floods, and compound extremes in hydrology. I have applied my skills to different aspects of the field of hydroclimatic extremes, such as analysis of precipitation, both in point and regional scales.
