Biography
I have got nearly ten years teaching experience, since my academic career started in 2006, as appointed as a research teaching associate at School of Geography in Leeds. Through these years, I have completed the ULTA-1 teaching certificate course (U of Leeds) in 2008, the PGCHE certificate course (University of Nottingham) in 2015, and accredited as a teaching associate in the UK Higher Education Academy (UKHEA) since 2008. Otherwise, I am heavily involved with the water@leeds research group and currently chair of the Delta group. I have also been involved as a chair of the water@leeds postgraduate forum from 2008 – 2011.
Research Interest
I specialise in international water management policies, particularly in sustainable flood management and planning practices, flood risk assessment practices in the UK, Europe and East Asian coastal cities, deltas and their applications in both developed and developing countries.
