Senior Research Fellow

Research
My research interest has covered the broad range of water engineering and management, water footprint - water productivity, precision irrigation, and agronomy using field-based and modelling approaches, and application of remote sensing & GIS in both urban greenery and agricultural farmlands. I was fortunate to work in academia and industry as research scientist and consultant in different geographical and climate settings including Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, USA, Japan, Malaysia, China, and Iran.
