Sayedreza Jafarzadeh is a dedicated Ph.D. student at the University of Porto, where he specializes in Civil Engineering with a focus on Hydraulics, Water Resources, and the Environment. He is also a valued researcher at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto (FEUP), and an active member of the Centro Interdisciplinar de Investigação-Marinha e Ambiental (CIIMAR). His academic journey began with a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, providing him with a solid foundation in the field. This was further enriched by a master's degree in Geotechnical Engineering, where he deepened his understanding of soil mechanics and foundation engineering. His professional tenure as a geotechnical engineer at Dejdis Company allowed him to specialize in numerical modeling, analyzing the interaction between structures and soil, and implementing soil-nailing techniques for soil stabilization. His doctoral studies have been driven by a profound interest in understanding sediment transport by rivers and the impact of soil types on hydraulic systems. He has established a robust research foundation through courses directly related to his research proposals. He has developed proficiency in hydrology, river hydraulics, and sediment transport, gained through courses in numerical modeling of flow and sediment transport, and analyzing floods with Ponte da Barca as a case study. He has delivered reports on sediment transport measurement methods and completed a course in Uncertainty Modeling and Risk Analysis, emphasizing data collection and analysis. Engaging with FEUP's research community has enriched his learning experience, allowing him to share insights and contribute to advancing knowledge in water resources management. He has actively participated in projects concerning sediment transport in the Tâmega basin and sedimentation in the Torrão reservoir. His proficiency extends to hydrology and hydraulic engineering software such as SWAT, HEC-RAS, SSIIM, Iber, QGIS, E-Panet, and Python. Since January 2023, he has been involved in a project in collaboration with FEUP/EDP, focusing on studying sedimentation patterns in the Douro reservoirs and their potential impact on coastal sediment movement. He has showcased his research findings at esteemed conferences, including the 40th International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) World Conference in Vienna. In summary, Sayedreza Jafarzadeh's background in civil engineering, geotechnics, and water resources management positions him well to address critical challenges such as sediment transport, numerical modeling, hydrology, sediment production, and soil erosion. His research and skills can contribute significantly to the field of hydraulic engineering, particularly in improving water resources management for reservoir sedimentation in various settings.
