معرفی
Dr. Salman Khan serves as a Postdoc Research Fellow Level II at the School of Civil Engineering, University College Dublin, focusing on critical intersections of urban environmental monitoring, hydrological systems, and sustainable resource management. His work bridges remote sensing technologies with practical climate adaptation solutions for rapidly urbanizing regions.
Education:
- BSc in Engineering and Technology from University of Engineering and Technology, Peshawar, Pakistan
- MSc from Hohai University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China
- PhD from Hohai University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China
Dr. Khan's research spans advanced remote sensing applications for urban impervious surface mapping, green infrastructure hydrology, and water security frameworks. His methodological innovations include automated pixel purification algorithms for hyperspectral imagery and machine learning-driven hydrological modeling of green roof systems. He investigates forest dynamics in the Brazilian Amazon to assess sustainable logging practices and develops comprehensive water security indices for developing nations. His multilingual capabilities (English, French, Mandarin, Urdu, Pashto) facilitate international collaborations across Europe, Asia, and South America.
Analysis of his publication trends reveals dominant themes in urban environmental monitoring using hyperspectral and satellite data, with growing emphasis on nature-based flood mitigation solutions. His work consistently integrates advanced computational techniques (Random Forest, SVR, XGBoost) to address data-scarce environments in hydrology and forestry, demonstrating strong translational impact for urban planners and environmental policymakers.

Dr. Khan's research is supported through institutional affiliations at University College Dublin, where he utilizes campus green roof installations for empirical hydrological studies. Current projects include community-centric rainfall monitoring networks and phosphate emission modeling in Irish waterways, though specific grant details remain unreported.
He operates within UCD's School of Civil Engineering research ecosystem, collaborating with international teams on projects spanning Dublin's urban landscapes, the Brazilian Amazon, and Pakistan's federal capital. His work on the Driminagh Neighbourhood flood mitigation study exemplifies community-engaged research approaches for climate resilience.
