Md. Imran Hosen, PhD
Assistant Professor, Institute of Water and Environment, DUET, Gazipur
My research focuses on advancing our understanding of land surface and atmospheric interactions, urban meteorology, extreme climate, stormwater and groundwater management through the use of Atmospheric Models, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and Remote Sensing (RS). I also utilize GIS and RS to address difficulties in the water and environmental sectors. I am an expert user of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, NCAR Command Language (NCL), Python, GIS and RS. Besides, I have extensive experience operating Super Computer and High Performance Computer (HPC) to run weather and climate models. Before joining DUET, I earned a PhD degree in Hydrometeorology from Victoria University in Australia, an MSc degree in Water Resources Engineering from the University of Malaya in Malaysia, and a BSc degree in Civil Engineering from Dhaka University of Engineering & Technology in Bangladesh. My PhD research examined the impact of land-use changes, particularly urban expansion, on the urban heat island (UHI), as well as the strategies for mitigating the UHI through the deployment of green infrastructure during heat waves. I am interested in using my hydrology and climatology expertise to conduct hydroclimatology research to address various scientific questions.
