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.
