Mahmoud Shehata
Welcome to my website!
I am currently a postdoc in the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering at North Carolina State University. I am primarily interested in enhancing our understanding of the different hydrological processes that occur at different spatial scales by developing cutting-edge multi-scale technologies and combining them with state of the art in numerical modeling.
