Slaven Conevski

Slaven Conevski is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). He is affiliated with the Norwegian Hydraulic Laboratory (Norsk hydroteknisk laboratorium) in Valgrinda, where he focuses on advanced hydroacoustic techniques for sediment transport monitoring.

His research intersects Hydraulic Engineering, Hydroacoustics, and River Dynamics, with a strong emphasis on sediment transport mechanisms in fluvial environments. His work leverages tools such as Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs), image velocimetry, and ANN-based modeling to quantify bedload and suspended sediment dynamics, particularly in sand-bed rivers and under hydropower-induced flow conditions.
