My current research focuses on building regional flood hazard models to assess flood risk under current and future climatic conditions. I also have experience in glacierised mountainous catchments, their systematic precipitation bias and glaciological changes. My methodological toolkit consists of:
- regional hydrological and hydrodynamic flood modelling
- stochastic flood risk assessments for the insurance sector
- regional hydrological and glacio-hydrological modelling
- geospatial models and processing
- multi-temporal remote sensing
- evolutionary model optimisation
Climate Change and Health in sub-Saharan Africa (2019 – 2022)
Bio-physical modelling of multiple catchments mainly in Burkina Faso and Kenya (as part of Central Project 2).
H2020_Insurance (2017 – ongoing)
Work package leader of the Danube regional multi-hazard, multi-risk model in a EU H2020 innovations project in collaboration with insurance sector partners.
OASIS (2016 – 2017)
Prototyping a regional flood hazard model for implementation in the OASIS Loss Modelling Framework.
Sumario (2011 – 2016)
Sustainable management of the river oases along the Tarim River (NW China).
For my PhD I worked on the glacio-hydrological modelling of the Tarim tributaries, extending the current SWIM model for the arid, glacier and snow-melt dominated catchments. The work was conducted as part of the SuMaRiO project under the supervision of Dr Valentina Krysanova at PIK and Dr. Julian Thompson and Prof. Jon French at UCL.
