معرفی
Prasad Daggupati is an Associate Professor in the School of Engineering at the University of Guelph, specializing in Water Resources Engineering. He holds a Ph.D. from Kansas State University and has held academic positions since 2016, including Assistant Professor and Associate Professor roles. His research focuses on watershed processes, climate change impacts, and the application of remote sensing technologies. Key areas include ephemeral gully erosion, critical source area identification, and hydrological modeling. He has been recognized with awards such as the 2022 Young Engineer Award (NABEC) and the 2021 Outstanding Associate Editor Recognition (ASABE Journal).
Education includes a Ph.D. (2012) and MS (2012) in Biological and Agricultural Engineering from Kansas State University, and a BS (2004) from Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University. His teaching spans undergraduate courses like ENGG 4360 (Soil-Water Conservation Systems Design) and graduate courses such as ENGG 6800 (Deterministic Hydrological Modeling).
Research interests emphasize agricultural management's impact on sediment and nutrient transport, climate change adaptation, and precision agriculture. He leads a team of over 30 graduate students and has collaborated on projects funded by agencies like USDA-NIFA and NRCS. His work integrates machine learning, geospatial tools, and hydrological models to address water security and environmental sustainability challenges.
Professional contributions include over 100 peer-reviewed publications, with a focus on SWAT modeling, non-point source pollution, and UAV applications. His lab develops decision frameworks for sustainable watershed management, particularly in Ontario's agricultural regions.
