Saurav Kumar

Saurav Kumar serves as an Assistant Professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment at Arizona State University, where he is affiliated with the Water Institute and participates in the hydrosystems engineering group. His work bridges engineering and environmental science to address critical water resource challenges.

His educational background includes:

• Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (USA)
• M.S. in Environmental Science and Engineering, Singapore-Stanford Partnership Program (Nanyang Technological University and Stanford University) (USA/Singapore)
• B.E. in Environmental Engineering, Delhi College of Engineering (India)

Dr. Kumar specializes in sustainable water management through advanced data integration techniques. His research develops hybrid models for carbon-water systems, merges aerial/satellite remote sensing with hydrological models, and pioneers hyperspectral signal processing methodologies. This work creates innovative frameworks for optimizing water resource decisions using multi-source data streams.

He actively mentors students through honors theses, directed studies, and doctoral research while teaching core courses like Numerical Methods for Engineers. His laboratory work occurs within ASU's hydrosystems engineering group infrastructure and the university-wide Water Institute collaborative environment.
