Ph.D. Student

A little about me

I'm currently a PhD student in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Florida International University (FIU), having transferred here in the summer of 2024. I grew up in the mountain town of Mansehra in Pakistan's KPK province. My first language is Hindko, and I also speak Urdu, English, and some Pashto.

As a Civil Engineer specializing in water resources, I have experience working with engineering consultants on hydropower, bridges, and urban development projects. My research background is interdisciplinary including hydrological system modeling using physical and data driven modeling, interaction of climate on regional-scale hydrology, hydraulic modeling, flood modeling, and GIS.

Research interests

My research focuses on understanding the nonlinear behavior of water systems, studying hydrological and climate variability, and utilizing both data-driven and physical models for system analysis and optimization.

Personal interests

In my free time, I enjoy sketching and art, playing badminton, and discussing current affairs.
