Ebrahim Ahmadisharaf, Assistant Professor - Ebrahim Ahmadisharaf is currently an Assistant Professor in the Center for Resilient Infrastructure and Disaster Response Center (RIDER) and Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Florida State University. His work primarily focuses on predicting floods and surface water quality under a changing climate and land cover to support decisions related to civil infrastructure design, flood mitigation and water pollution control. Prior to joining Florida State University, he was a Hydrologic Scientist at Danish Hydraulic Institute (DHI) and a Postdoctoral Associate at Virginia Tech. He has a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Tennessee Technological University and both MSc and BSc in Civil Engineering from Sharif University of Technology. His research has been published in several peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Ahmadisharaf has delivered multiple presentations at State, national and international conferences. Since 2016, he has been a reviewer for various funding agencies (e.g., NSF, NASA, DOE, DoD and FFAR), peer-reviewed journals and an elected member of AGU Water Quality Technical Committee and ASCE-EWRI TMDL Analysis and Modeling Task Committee, and Surface Water Hydrology and Watershed Management Technical Committees. He has been also an Associate Editor of ASCE’s Journal of Hydrologic Engineering since 2023. Dr. Ahmadisharaf’s research has led to about $4 million of grants supported by Federal (NSF, NAS, EPA, USDA and NASA) and State (Florida Department of Environmental Protection) agencies as well as private foundations. In 2024, he was selected as the NASEM’s Early Career Research Fellow.
