hi, I'm Rashid

My research focuses on climate adaptation and decision making under deep uncertainty in water resources systems. I study how reservoir operations and infrastructure decisions can balance trade-offs across water, energy, and flood management under changing climate and socioeconomic conditions. My work combines large ensembles of plausible futures and multi-objective optimization to understand these trade-offs and identify conditions where existing strategies may no longer meet desired performance levels. Building on this, I develop computational approaches for adaptive pathway planning to explore when and how different adaptation actions can be introduced as system conditions change.
