FAISAL MOHAMMAD ALVEE

Hello there, this is Faisal Mohammad Alvee. I am pursuing my Ph.D. in the School of Civil and Environmental  Engineering, at the University of Connecticut (UConn), USA. Details about our research group can be found here.

 

Coming from a country that seems to be perpetually inflicted with the curse of mother nature, I was always amazed and perplexed by the fury of nature. As a child, I grew up hearing the stories of the mighty Padma River engulfing village after village overnight with river erosion, stories about how a single cyclone took over 140,000 lives in a single day in 1991. I grew up watching my beloved city of Dhaka, experiencing acute water logging problems even after 2-3 hours of moderate rainfall. My young mind always wanted to understand the reasons behind these phenomena.

​

Now as a water resources professional and an academician, I want to enhance my knowledge even further and know or find out efficient and effective ways to address these challenges.
