TERRESTRIAL HYDROLOGY LAB
at University of Cincinnati
Meet Our Team
We are hiring. If you are interested in joining us, please go to JOIN THE LAB

Principal Investigator (PI)
Dongmei Feng
Dr. Feng is an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. She is the PI and lab lead of the terrestrial hydrology lab. Dr. Feng's research interests are in terrestrial hydrology. She leverages resources from remote sensing, numeric models, big data, and state-of-the-art computational techniques to advance our understanding of global hydrology. She loves reading, hiking, photography, and gardening.

Ph.D student
Pradeep Ramtel
Mr. Ramtel is a Ph.D. student in Environmental Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. He is interested in using machine learning and other advanced technologies to understand and predict vulnerabilities related to environmental hydrology. Mr. Ramtel obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from Tribhuvan University, Nepal in 2020. In his leisure time, he likes to watch movies, trek, and paint.

MS student
Aaditya Bhattarai
I'm an M.S. student in the Environmental Engineering department at UC with a focus on hydrosystems and water quality. My primary interest is in the development of large-scale continuous hydrologic models, using remote sensing and short to medium-term weather forecasts. I have worked in the development of Arun-III hydropower (900 MW) as a licensed civil engineer and plan to work in the hydropower sector in the future. I obtained my Bachelor in Civil Engineering degree from IOE Pulchowk Campus in 2021. My hobbies include trekking, making new friends, and programming.
