Dr .Ali Reza Shokoohi is a tenured Professor at the department of water engineering,
faculty of engineering and technology, Imam Khomeini International University, Iran. He
received his B.Sc. degree in Irrigation and reclamation engineering in 1985 at Tehran
University. Then, he started researching as a graduate student and received his M.Sc.
degree in hydraulic structures in 1988 at Tehran University. After 7 years working as a
lecturer at Shahroud Industrial University and also as a project manager in some
consulting engineering companies, he continued his graduate studies and completed the
Ph.D. training in 2001 in water resources engineering at Tehran University .Then, he
moved to Qazvin International University and started teaching as an assistant professor.
In 2008, he was promoted to Associate Professor grade and in 2015, because of his
impressive accomplishment, was promoted to Full Professor grade and now is conducting
many courses and thesis in hydraulics and hydrology. His special favorite is rainfall -
runoff modeling in GIS environment, Flood and drought risk and crisis management,
Environmental engineering and integrated river basin management. He has managed at
least 20 nationwide river engineering projects. He has published 5 books in hydrology,
irrigation and drainage engineering and also has published more than 90 papers in valid
peer reviewed journals/conferences in water engineering related area. A brief of his
biography and his activities is presented below:
