BIO
Suffiyan is an Urban and Infrastructure Engineer and is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher working to define nationally consistent fluvial and pluvial flood hazard severity thresholds to improve risk communication for National Water Model inundation forecasts. He completed his PhD in Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Vermont. His research focuses on hydrology and fluvial geomorphology across diverse environments.
Before joining UVM, Suffiyan worked at the Institute of Environmental Geosciences in Grenoble, France, where he was involved in the development of a novel non-contact river discharge monitoring technique and investigated suspended-sediment transport dynamics in the French Alps.
In addition to academic work, Suffiyan has three years of industrial experience as a Water Resources Engineer. He specializes in the design and construction of water supply systems, stormwater drainage infrastructure, and land development projects.
