I have a B.Sc. in Natural Resources Engineering from the University of Tehran and for my B.Sc. thesis I worked on geomorphology of Taleghan basin.I have a M.Sc. in Natural Resources Engineering from the University of Gorgan, Iran. My M.Sc. thesis entitled " Land management for desertification mitigation in watershed scale ". I worked on land use management in an agro-forestry watershed with a GIS-based model called “Environmentally Sensitive Areas” (ESAs) to evaluate desertification risks. The model used five key criteria, including climate, water erosion, soil, vegetation and management to produce a map for visualization of desertification statues in the study area. To provide insights into optimal management programs, the map was used to make scenarios for assessing potential ecological changes and to establish appropriate management strategies, given that other indices were constant; these scenarios were replaced by those from the indices showing sensitivity of land use.I have a Ph.D. in Agricultural, Forestry, Food and Environmental Sciences, University of Basilicata, Italy. The main aim of my Ph.D. thesis was comparing the actual transpiration rates from tomato crop, as measured at leaf scale and estimated by a macroscopic approach in an agrohydrological model, named FLOWS-HAGES, under variable soil properties and water availability.
