Behrouz Gholamahmadi is a PhD student in Environmental Sciences and Engineering, and a member of the Center for Environmental and Marine Studies (CESAM) & Earth Surface Processes Team at the Department of Environment and Planning, University of Aveiro (UA) since September 2018. He did his Bachelor's and Master's in Agricultural Engineering at the Islamic Azad University of Iran. His research focus in the bachelor period was soil erosion modeling in the catchment area. In the master period, seepage control techniques in the earth dam. He has the experience of scientific and technical collaboration with the Soil Conservation and Watershed Management Research Institute, and the National Agricultural Organization on the soil and water conservation projects located in arid and semi-arid eastern Iran regions. He also was a tutor at the Islamic Azad University of Iran in 2010 for a specialized software course. He presented two conference papers related to soil mechanics and geotechnics at Iranian national civil engineering conferences as the first author. Also, He has obtained two awards from the Municipality of Mashhad, Iran for consulting on a national project related to urban water infrastructure development (DMWI project) in 2013, and 2014. He was recognized as a qualified consultant engineer/Grade 2, by the Agricultural and Natural Resources Engineering Organisation of Iran (IAEO). During his research in Portugal, he developed his research skills and knowledge on (i) assessing biochar effects on soil erosion to mitigate climate change, and combat desertification under the scope of a research grant by CESAM laboratory(ii) post-fire hydrological events and soil erosion, and Integrated management natural areas under the scope of EPyRIS project research grant(iii) as a research fellow to quantifying carbon budget and fluxes after the wildfire under the scope of FIRE-C-BUDs project. Furthermore, collaboration with LIFE REFOREST and FIREMIX, EU projects, presenting one oral and two poster communications as a co-author at the EGU General Assembly 2020 and SETAC Europe 30th Annual Meeting, and one technical report as an author, were his scientific output during his PhD studies in Portugal. After granting an FCT Ph.D. scholarship, he started to work on his thesis and collaboration with the SOILCOMBAT project. He is a member of the Biocharcology Team at the CESAM, UA Portugal. He added mentoring, paper reviewing (ELSEVIER), and experimental site coordination to his resume during his PhD study until now. He published the first Meta-analysis of his topic in 2023 and presented his works at national and international (WUR Netherlands) conferences, also he is working on a research paper with are outcomes of unique experiments that are to be submitted in 2024.
