Adnan Rajib

Dr. Adnan Rajib is an Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at The University of Texas at Arlington, leading the H2I Lab (Hydrology & Hydroinformatics Innovation Lab). His research focuses on large-scale hydrology, water quality modeling, and integrating artificial intelligence with remote sensing data to address climate change impacts on water resources. He actively advises doctoral, master's, and undergraduate students in projects related to flood resilience, wildfire hydrology, and nature-based solutions.

Dr. Rajib has secured significant grants from NASA, NSF, and USDA, totaling over $4 million, including a major NASA initiative to predict wildfire effects on freshwater supplies and a DOE-funded Coastal Bend Climate Resilience Center. His work spans collaborations with international organizations like the United Nations University and The Nature Conservancy.

Key contributions include global studies on floodplain alterations, wetland-mediated nitrate reductions, and the development of cyberinfrastructure tools for open science. He serves on the editorial board of environmental journals and professional committees, including the American Society of Civil Engineers' Wetland Hydrology Technical Committee.

His teaching emphasizes advanced topics in civil engineering and research mentorship, with courses like 'Topics in Civil Engineering' and dissertation advisement. Dr. Rajib's lab integrates cutting-edge hydroinformatics to advance climate resilience strategies for vulnerable communities.
