Ali Haghighi
As a senior undergraduate in Water Sciences and Engineering at the University of Tehran, I am deeply engaged in exploring the dynamic interplay between natural ecosystems and engineered environments. My passion for education drives me to teach courses aimed at nurturing the next generation of engineers.
Research
I am a data analysis and environmental engineering enthusiast with a robust academic background in environmental spatiotemporal analysis, focusing on water quality. My expertise extends to urban infrastructure, particularly water distribution networks and water loss detection, as well as the intersection of agriculture and water resources. Recently, my research interests have expanded to encompass groundwater studies, hydrological dynamics of both groundwater and surface waters, water scarcity, and the energy and economic dimensions of water management.
Integrated Forecast-Simulation for Crop Planting
I developed an IDSS that helps farmers make better decisions.
ASCE Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering — ManuscriptUnsteady Flow Discharge Measurement
I conducted physical and numerical simulations that enable accurate measurement of unsteady flow.
Flow Measurement and Instrumentation — ManuscriptWater Loss Detection in Drinking Water Networks
I built a multi-sensor water loss detection system that helps save water and energy.
