Dr. Shreedhar Maskey, born in Nepal, holds a PhD degree (2004) with the thesis title "Modelling Uncertainty in Flood Forecasting Systems" from Delft University of Technology/ UNESCO-IHE, Netherlands, MSc degree (1999) in Hydroinformatics with distinction from IHE Delft, Netherlands and BE degree (1991) in civil engineering from Tribhuvan University, Nepal. His working experience ranges from research and teaching to modelling systems development and professional civil engineering designs. His key areas of expertise and interest are process-based distributed hydrological modeling, flood forecasting, snow/glaciers, uncertainty analysis and climate change impacts and adaptation at a river basin scale.
