Research focus: Flood modeling and prediction, remote sensing, hydrometeorology, and the use of remote sensing and spatial data in hydrology.

What excites you most about your PIRE research? Something that excites me is the ability to help the Blue Nile region by increasing water security and creating a level of predictability. Along with this, because of Ethiopia’s constantly changing weather conditions on a local scale, paired with current water management practices, this project and model have the ability to reach and affect other regions globally.

 What’s the most valuable aspect of your research for the people and communities? The most valuable aspect of the research for the people and communities is that we are working to help increase water security which can hopefully improve the quality of life.
