Sanjib Sharma

Dr. Sanjib Sharma is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Howard University's College of Engineering and Architecture (CEA). He holds a Ph.D. from Pennsylvania State University and specializes in hydroclimatic extremes and their cascading impacts on water, energy, and transportation systems.

His research integrates data science, engineering, and earth science methodologies to address environmental challenges, with particular focus areas in:

• Hydroclimatic risk analysis and water resources management
• Machine learning applications in flood forecasting
• Sustainable infrastructure design and climate adaptation
• Environmental justice implications of water quality deterioration

Dr. Sharma's recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate strong focus on climate impacts, flood modeling techniques, and environmental justice. Key trends include advanced machine learning applications in hazard prediction, probabilistic modeling of compound climate events, and vulnerability assessments for marginalized communities. Over 80% of his recent work incorporates geospatial analysis and uncertainty quantification.

He actively mentors undergraduate civil engineering students and advises the Howard University ASCE chapter. His research group collaborates with organizations including the American Geophysical Union (AGU), European Geosciences Union (EGU), and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).
