Nadir is a Professional Engineer recognized by Engineers Australia, who completed his Master’s Degree at The University of Melbourne with an outstanding classification (First Class Honours – H1). He also has an extensive practical experience of over 15 years in Civil Engineering with a strong passion for water design, modeling, and management.
In 2010, he successfully undertook research at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) in Australia, where he generated knowledge to understand the performance of Canberra’s water supplies in the presence of household rainwater tanks.
Nadir is currently working as a scientific demonstrator and as a web editor at Fenner School of Environment and Society. In addition, his continued enthusiasm for water resources planning and management has motivated him to pursue research in order to improve the current scientific knowledge in the vast field of streamflow estimation. Hence, he is presently undertaking advanced research at Doctoral level funded by the Australian National University.
In his research, he is particularly interested in employing Geostatistical techniques to uncover the spatial and temporal auto-correlation between prior model predictions and streamflow observations, in order to obtain reliable and robust historical streamflow estimates. These estimates will subsequently be used to obtain a better set of model parameters in order to improve hydrological model forecasts.
