Research Assistant
Sina Jahangir is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Waterloo, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, working under the supervision of John Quilty. He is using his expertise in mathematical modeling, hydrology, and computer science to tackle pragmatic, and large-scale problems such as smart and effective flood planning. His research focuses on developing state-of-the-art machine learning and deep learning models for accurate and reliable hydrological and water resources forecasting. As a researcher working with Partners for Action, he is building tools for quantification and reducing sources of uncertainty for reliable flood mapping (with Liton Chakraborty and Sharmalene Mendis-Millard).
