BIO
Suffiyan is an Urban and Infrastructure Engineer currently pursuing a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Vermont. His research focuses on the hydrology and geomorphology of urban streams, where he leverages high-frequency field data and multivariate statistics to understand human impact on sediment transport. He is developing a conceptual model for suspended sediment transport in urban environments.
Before joining UVM, Suffiyan worked at the Institute of Environmental Geosciences in Grenoble, France, where he was involved with 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.
