Hire Dr. Sharad P.

India

IIT Bombay Alumnus | Expert in AI-driven Groundwater Modelling, MAR, and Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM)

Profile Summary

With over 7 years of advanced research and consultancy experience, I specialize in bridging the gap between complex hydrological science and sustainable engineering solutions. I hold a PhD from IIT Bombay, where I developed novel numerical frameworks for subsurface flow and groundwater characterization, integrating traditional hydrogeology with modern computational techniques. Core Expertise & Technical Skills: Hydrological Modelling: Expert in Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM), Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR), and Subsurface Characterization using MODFLOW, GIS, and Remote Sensing. AI & Machine Learning: Proficient in applying Python-based ML algorithms to predict groundwater behavior, optimize recharge sites, and handle large-scale environmental datasets. Project Management: Extensive experience in preparing Detailed Project Reports (DPR) and technical audits for large-scale government initiatives like the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) in India. Disaster Mitigation: Skilled in modelling flood/drought scenarios and subsurface risk assessment. Key Research & Projects: Doctoral Research (IIT Bombay): Developed high-precision meshfree/numerical models for complex aquifer systems, significantly reducing computational overhead while maintaining accuracy. National Consultancy: Actively involved in groundwater sustainability projects, providing technical advisory for rural water supply schemes and aquifer mapping. Academic Leadership: Currently serving as an Assistant Professor, where I lead interdisciplinary modules on Water Resources Engineering and Sustainable Development. What I Offer as a Consultant: I provide high-quality technical consulting, scientific writing, and data-driven modelling services. Whether it is a peer-review of a hydrological study, designing a Managed Aquifer Recharge system, or implementing AI models for environmental data, I deliver solutions backed by rigorous academic standards and practical field experience.
