Great to see my PhD student Aziz is featured in the Florida Water & Climate Alliance's webinar as a Rising Star in Water and Climate. He presented his research on using remote sensing & deep learning for mapping flood extents during major events.

Thanks for featuring our research.

Congratulations to my PhD student Mobin for being selected as a recipient of our department’s graduate research excellence award.

Congrats to my undergraduate student Vicky Gao for being selected as the recipient of ASBPA Student Educational Award. This award was given to her because of research on factors contributing to red tides in the Southwest Florida Gulf.

Congrats to my PhD student Piyush Dahal for being selected as a winner of @agu.org @aguepsp.bsky.social Caregiver Award. This will support his travel to #agu25. He'll present his work about the relationship between antecedent soil moisture and precipitation in terrestrial watersheds. #agu2025

I'm honored to be selected as a Science Rising Star of Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine of Florida (ASEMFL). Thanks to those who supported my nomination. Also thanks to my mentees for all their efforts. This recognition was not possible without them.

Congrats to my undergraduate student Basia Price for winning a ~$11,000 fellowship from College of Engineering for her research about representing short-duration rainfall events.

Great to chair a session & present our NASA SMAP project results about understanding the drivers of river floods at IEEE #igarss2025. Thanks to the work of my PhD student Piyush & collaboration w/ NASA Goddard Space Flight Center & @michiganstateu.bsky.social

This is figure 4, which shows the location of dams that were categorized as the critical overtopping probability (i.e., not very low) in more than half of the 21 30-year windows and the most recent time window (1993–2022).

Aging US dams face increasing overtopping risks due to changing hydrologic conditions. A study in Nature Communications evaluates 33 dams using updated frequency analysis and identifies six dams with the greatest probability, posing risks to downstream populations. go.nature.com/3IMV4xH 🧪

Submit your abstracts to our @agu.org #agu25 session that covers a broad range of topics on harmful algal blooms. The submission is due by Jul 30.

Congrats to my two PhD students - Samiul & Mobin - for passing their preliminary exam and advancing to PhD candidacy. Well done guys!

Wrapped up #EWRI2025 with three oral presentations by my team, three committee meetings, chairing a session, catching up with peers and being recognized as the 2025 Fellow.

First @egu.eu #egu25

It was great presenting at 18th NASA SMAP Science Team Meeting about our ongoing NASA funded project, catching up with colleagues and collaborators, and meeting new folks. Look forward to the next meetings and continue the collaboration with the science team.

Super proud of my PhD student Maryam Pakdehi for being selected as the sole winner of the Florida State University Graduate Student Leadership Award. She becomes the first student in the College of Engineering to win this award.

New paper in @agu.org WRR. Led by my PhD student, we introduced a loss function to incorporate the uncertainty of flood observations (HWMs) in hindcasting water depths via ML models. Thanks to NSF & NASEM for their financial support.

Congrats to my PhD student Mobin for taking the second place in our department’s graduate student poster contest. Thanks to the CEE Dept, FSU CEEGSA & RIDER Center for organizing this event, and College of Engineering & Gemini Eng & Sci for their support. @fsuresearch.bsky.social

Congrats to my second PhD student - Maryam Pakdehi - for successfully defending her PhD. Her research focused on evaluating ML algorithms for flood modeling in coastal watersheds. Well done Maryam and I’m excited to hear about your next achievements!

Honored to announce that I’ve been elected as a 2025
EWRI Fellow! Big thanks to my references who supported my nomination and all my collaborators, colleagues, mentors and mentees who supported me throughout my career so far. Look forward to continue my contributions to the water resources field.

Congrats to Paul Bates for being selected as the winner of prestigious Ven Te Chow Award, the greatest recognition of a hydrologist for lifetime achievement by ASCE. He'll be recognized at EWRI Congress in May in Anchorage. Thank you Paul for your contributions to the hydrology community and beyond.

Our new paper presents the first model for predicting flood impacts on indoor mold in buildings. Led by my PhD student w/ @harvardchanschool.bsky.social collaborators. Thanks to NSF & @nationalacademies.org for the financial support! doi.org/10.1016/j.en...

New paper in WIREs Water led by my PhD student!

We provide the first review of processes and models for predicting the export of microplastics from terrestrial to aquatic systems.
