Dr Muhammad Shahid
Lecturer (Education) in Civil Engineering

Summary

I am an experienced hydrologist and water resources engineer with over a decade of academic and professional expertise, holding a Ph.D. in Hydraulic Engineering from Tsinghua University (QS rank 17 in 2026). My teaching and research journey spans leading institutions including Brunel London School North China University of Technology, University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Lahore (QS rank 801 in 2026), and National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) Islamabad (QS rank 371 in 2026), where I have integrated cutting-edge research with practical hydrological applications. My research focuses on hydrological response under changing environments, with emphasis on urban hydrology, precipitation products, climate change, land-use dynamics, and sustainable water management. I have published 35 manuscripts in high-impact journals such as the Journal of Hydrology, Nature Communications, and Remote Sensing, achieving an H-index of 19 with more than 1,000 citations. Beyond research, I actively contribute to the global scientific community by reviewing more than 450 manuscripts for renowned journals and evaluating grant proposals, projects, and theses across water sciences, hydraulic engineering, geospatial analysis, and hydrological modeling. Passionate about advancing our understanding of water systems under environmental pressures, I seek to foster collaborations and contribute to innovative solutions for sustainable water management while continuing to engage in international academic discourse.
