Postdoctoral Research Associate
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Mo has received his bachelors in Civil Engineering from Power and Water University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, and his masters and PhD also in Civil Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. During his masters and PhD, he primarily focused on the statistical analysis of climate change impacts on drought characteristics in Iran. He developed a novel multi-site statistical downscaling model to downscale precipitation and temperature from the outputs of General Circulation Models (GCMs) over a hydrologic unit. He also introduced the Precipitation–Temperature Deciled Index (PTDI) to characterize drought conditions based on the joint variability of precipitation–temperature, particularly under climate change. During his PhD, Mo pursued 9 months of his research as a visiting scholar at the University of Western Ontario, London, Canada. Mo works on hydrologic and flood simulation in coordination with Dr. Wright and climate scientists at UW-Madison.
