معرفی
Dr. Fahimeh Mirchooli is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Geography at the University of Bonn, Germany, working within the AG Klaus research group. Her work focuses on hydrology, soil erosion, and sustainability of catchment systems. She holds a PhD in Natural Resource Engineering from Tarbiat Modares University, Iran, and has held academic research roles at Sari Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University and Hakim Sabzevari University.
- PhD, Natural Resource Engineering (Watershed Science and Engineering), Tarbiat Modares University, Iran, 2020
- Visiting Researcher, University of Salzburg, Austria, 2019
- MSc, Natural Resource Engineering (Watershed Management), Isfahan University of Technology, Iran, 2013
- BSc, Natural Resource Engineering (Rangeland and Watershed Management), University of Tehran, Iran, 2011
Dr. Mirchooli's research centers on soil erosion and conservation, sediment-water interactions, spatial modeling using machine learning, and catchment health and sustainability. She integrates geospatial analysis, environmental modeling, and data science to assess land degradation, ecosystem services, and environmental risk. Her work often involves remote sensing, GIS, and hybrid modeling approaches combining empirical and machine learning techniques.
Her recent publications (2018–2024) reflect a strong trend in environmental risk modeling, land degradation assessment, and machine learning applications in hydrology and soil science. Topics include gully erosion susceptibility, dust emission risk, flood modeling, and watershed sustainability. The interdisciplinary nature of her research spans ecology, geoscience, agricultural science, and public health.
Scientific awards and honors include:
- Ranked 1st among PhD students in Watershed Management Sciences and Engineering (2020)
- 6th rank in national PhD entrance exam for Watershed Management (2015)
- George Forster Fellowship (2025)
- Sabbatical Scholarship from Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, Iran (2019–2020)
