My primary research focus was to study contaminants fate and transport in subsurface. The objective of each project that I was involved in was to quantify the quality of air and water to protect public health. While I was working at Northern Arizona University as a research associate, I have worked on modeling dust storm severity and frequency in the state of Arizona with respect to weather extremes. Dust storms are one of the major weather issues and causes of road accidents in the state of Arizona and my goal was to investigate the use of sensor data and models to provide localized weather measurement and forecasts in a timely manner. During my PhD studies, my research focus was to assess groundwater quality as a result of excessive nitrogen fertilizer applications to agricultural crops. The main objective was to quantify the impact of climate change on soil hydrological processes and groundwater quality in future. In another project, I studied indoor air quality in terms of cyclohexane and methyl-cyclohexane. The goal was to estimate the transport of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from contaminated groundwater toward the overlying building. I was engaged in multiple water resources and environmental projects in the last 11 years through which I gained a very strong background in water resources management, groundwater quality analysis for public safety, hydrology, and environmental engineering.
