Research summary
AI-generated

Taher Chegini works on modeling how water moves through cities, especially in underground stormwater and drainage pipe networks, and how this affects urban flooding. Their research combines flood mapping, hydrodynamic simulation, and open-source software tools to build and analyze synthetic (computer-generated) models of drainage systems at scales ranging from individual cities to entire countries. They also work on related topics such as coastal flood modeling and infrastructure datasets linking weather to power grids.
