About Swastik Ghimire

Our team at Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering is pioneering hydrology research through the \'NASA-CAP-ASU\' project, integrating remote sensing products and hydrological models to manage the Colorado River as a vital infrastructure asset. As a Graduate Research Assistant, my role lies at the intersection of climate & hydrological science and civil engineering, where I\'m actively applying my knowledge in hydrosystems from my ongoing master\'s degree studies. The passion for water resources management and climate change scenarios that I cultivated during my undergraduate studies at Tribhuvan University continues to drive my pursuit. With skills in research, engineering, and English, complemented by certifications in programming, project management, and spatial analysis, I\'m committed to contributing to sustainable solutions in the field of water sciences.
