Prof. Saeid Eslamian is a full professor of environmental hydrology and water resources engineering in the Department of Water Engineering at Isfahan University of Technology, where he has been since 1995. His research focuses mainly on statistical and environmental hydrology in a changing climate. In recent years, he has worked on modeling natural hazards, including floods, severe storms, wind, drought, pollution, water reuses, sustainable development and resiliency, etc. Formerly, he was a visiting professor at Princeton University, New Jersey, and the University of ETH Zurich, Switzerland. On the research side, he started a research partnership in 2014 with McGill University, Canada. He has contributed to more than 600 publications in journals, books, and technical reports. He is the founder and chief editor of both the International Journal of Hydrology Science and Technology (IJHST). Eslamian is now associate editor of three important publications: Journal of Hydrology, Eco-Hydrology and Hydrobiology, Journal of Water Reuse and Desalination (IWA) and Journal of the Saudi Society of Agricultural Sciences. Professor Eslamian is the author of more than 40 books and 200 chapter books.
