My research investigates the interactions between water, soil, vegetation, climate, and agricultural systems to understand environmental processes and support sustainable resource management. Combining field observations, environmental monitoring, remote sensing, geospatial analysis, and computational modeling, I investigate hydrological dynamics, hydroclimatic extremes, climate change impacts, and nature-based solutions. My overarching goal is to advance scientific understanding and develop innovative, data-driven approaches that strengthen water security, agricultural sustainability, and environmental resilience.
Hydrology and Ecohydrology
Investigating hydrological processes and interactions among water, soil, vegetation, and the atmosphere. Research focuses on rainfall–runoff dynamics, soil moisture, evapotranspiration, groundwater recharge, and hydrological responses to land-use and climate change.
Keywords: Rainfall–runoff processes · Soil moisture · Ecohydrology · Water balance · Groundwater recharge
Investigation of the coupled processes governing water availability, soil functioning, crop productivity, and climate variability. My research examines how agricultural management, vegetation cover, soil properties, and changing environmental conditions influence water use, erosion, nutrient transport, and the sustainability of agricultural systems.
Keywords: Soil hydrology · Agricultural water management · Erosion · Land use · Crop–environment interactions
Investigation of droughts, floods, and hydroclimatic variability under a changing climate. I combine climate projections, hydrological observations, and modeling approaches to assess future risks, quantify uncertainties, and understand the impacts of extreme events on water resources and agricultural landscapes.
Keywords: Climate projections · Droughts and floods · CMIP6 · Climate scenarios · Hydroclimatic risk
Assessment of nature-based solutions for improving water security, restoring ecosystem functions, and increasing landscape resilience. My research explores constructed wetlands, nature-based water treatment, ecosystem services, and integrated approaches to water quality, nutrient retention, and sustainable water resource management.

Soil Erosion, Sediment Transport and Land Degradation
Investigating the effects of land use, vegetation cover, agricultural management, and hydroclimatic variability on soil loss, surface runoff, and sediment transport. Research combines long-term experimental observations, erosion monitoring, and process-based modeling to quantify erosion rates, identify vulnerable landscapes, and evaluate soil conservation strategies.

Low-Cost Environmental Monitoring and Sensor Development
Developing, testing, and applying affordable environmental monitoring technologies for hydrology, soil science, and agricultural systems. Research includes low-cost sensors for rainfall, runoff, soil moisture, and other environmental variables, with an emphasis on field validation, measurement accuracy, data acquisition, open and reproducible methods, and expanding access to high-resolution environmental observations.
Keywords: Low-cost sensors · Hydrological monitoring · In situ data
Development and application of environmental monitoring systems, accessible sensing technologies, geospatial analysis, and computational models. I integrate field measurements, remote sensing, geographic information systems, and process-based simulations to improve the observation and prediction of environmental processes.
