Research Summary

My research explores information fusion, data analytics, and predictive models in water resource management, with an emphasis on flood management and water basin simulations. I investigate digital water, Hydroinformatics, and extended reality technologies for watershed and urban stormwater management.
In a separate research area, I delve into digital learning technologies, concentrating on smart education systems and methodologies designed to enhance learning experiences in engineering education
