Project Investigator: Nasrin Alamdari
Dr. Nasrin Alamdari is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Florida State University. Her research focuses primarily on the areas of urban hydrology, hydrologic/hydraulic modeling, sustainable and resilient urban water systems, stormwater management, and impact of nonstationary stressors—climate and land use change on hydrology and biogeochemistry.
Zhengxiao Yan
PhD Candidate
Zhengxiao Yan is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. His research is mainly focused on finding the relationships between Harmful Algal Blooms and influencing watershed factors and how the Best Management Practices in the urban watersheds will control and mitigate the HABs along the coasts in Miami-Dade County.
Mushfiqul Hoque
PhD Candidate
Mushfiqul is a PhD student in Civil and Environmental Engineering department at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. His research interest deals with "Integrated Urban Systems Resilience" and "Climate Change". For his PhD, he is developing a statewide decision support tool to control nutrients using stormwater green infrastructure strategies.
Mitra Nasr Azadani
PhD Candidate
Mitra Nasr Azadani is a PhD student in Civil and Enviromental Engineering at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. Mitra's research is mainly focused on the role of best management practices in mitigating the negative impacts of climate and land use change on nutrient exports in large agricultural watersheds. Her research aims to contribute to the development of integrated watershed management plans that consider the complex interactions between agriculture, climate, and water quality.
Syed Usama Imtiaz
PhD Candidate
Syed Usama Imtiaz is a PhD student in Civil and Enviromental Engineering at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. Syed's research is mainly focused on river restoration science, with a particular emphasis on investigating the intricate relationship between environmental and morphological factors. To achieve this, he will utilize high-resolution satellite imagery and advanced numerical techniques to predict various parameters related to inland water quality. By enhancing the understanding of riverine ecosystems, his research aims to contribute to the conservation and restoration efforts.
Mohana Debnath
PhD Student
Mohana is a PhD student in Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. Her current research involves developing a decision support tool to evaluate the role of nature-based solutions in mitigating short and long-term impacts of climate change and sea level rise in coastal areas.
Ali Salou
PhD Student
Ali Salou is a PhD student in Civil and Enviromental Engineering at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. Ali's research is mainly focused on the prediction of E.Coli using various watershed, meteorological, and physiochemical characteristics.
