Research Interest

My research area is groundwater modeling, hydrogeology & environment, and geostatistical & stochastic modeling of natural resources (oil, water, and minerals). Modeling and simulating the spatial and / or temporal variability of natural resources and environment is considered a very important step towards conducting real-life and economically feasible projects.
