Research interests
I am a hydrologist interested in groundwater dynamics, surface water-groundwater interactions, and the influence of groundwater dynamics on land surface and lower atmospheric processes. I like to apply numerical models of the hydrological cycle to address my research interests. I am very enthusiastic about it because I see a numerical model as a tool to look into the past, present, and future of our terrestrial system, not as a collection of difficult mathematical equations. I am very interested to apply my knowledge to address questions related to the sustainability of water resources.
