Hanz Lester C. Lunas received his BS in Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering with specialization in land and water resources engineering from the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB). He is a licensed Philippine agricultural and biosystems engineer. From 2024, he served as a research associate at the UPLB Interdisciplinary Studies Center for Water. As a researcher, he is involved in a project entitled “Impacts on Agriculture of Solar Radiation Management: The Southeast Asian Case”, where he examines the possible effects of solar geoengineering in alleviating the future effects of climate change on Philippine agriculture. He is also one of the project technical staff of the HyDEPP SATREPS Project, a JICA-funded project that aims to produce policy recommendations for sustainable economic development in urban and rural areas under climate change based on hybrid water-related disaster risk assessment technology. His research interests include water resources engineering and management; water-related disasters; micro-hydro systems; spatial analysis in hydrometeorology; hydrological modeling; and climate change impacts, adaptation, and mitigation.
