Climate Change Specialist | Climate Modeling, GIS & Remote Sensing Expert

Profile Summary

I am a climate change specialist with over 13 years of experience in environmental research, academic consulting, and national-level projects. Holding a Ph.D. in Physical Geography (Climatology), I specialize in climate modeling, impact assessment, GIS and remote sensing, and designing adaptation strategies for sectors such as agriculture, water resources, and biodiversity. I have served as a research expert on several national and international initiatives funded by organizations such as the UNDP, the Ministry of Energy (Iran), and Shahid Beheshti University. My work includes downscaling climate data, simulating crop responses (DSSAT, AquaCrop), hydrological modeling (SWAT, WEAP), and spatial analysis using GIS and satellite imagery. I also apply machine learning to analyze extreme climate events and conduct scenario planning to support informed environmental decision-making. My technical proficiency spans Python, R, MATLAB, Google Earth Engine, and tools such as InVEST and MaxEnt. In addition, I have supervised Ph.D. students on topics related to climate-health linkages, habitat risk assessment, and agro-climatic suitability under future climate scenarios. I am deeply committed to integrating scientific research with data-driven solutions to enhance climate resilience and support sustainable development. Let’s collaborate to transform climate data into actionable insights
