Mohammed Basheer

Mohammed Basheer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil & Mineral Engineering at the University of Toronto. His research focuses on Hydrology and Water Resource Systems, Hydropower planning and operations, the water-energy-food nexus, coupled human-water systems, and Climate change adaptation and mitigation. He employs interdisciplinary approaches to design sustainable water infrastructure, integrating engineering and socio-economic dimensions. Basheer's work addresses future uncertainties such as climate change and contributes to global sustainability goals. He is affiliated with the University of Toronto’s Institute for Water Innovation (IWI), SDGs Scholars Academy, and Centre for Climate Science and Engineering (CSE).

Mohammed Basheer is an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto, specializing in Water Resource Systems, Hydropower, and the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus. His research explores the integration of artificial intelligence in water resources management and the impacts of climate change on water systems. Basheer's work focuses on transboundary river basins, particularly the Blue Nile, and evaluates cooperative strategies for sustainable development. He investigates the socio-economic and environmental implications of large-scale hydropower projects, such as the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, and develops frameworks for adaptive management under uncertainty. His studies emphasize the interdependencies between water, energy, and food systems, aiming to enhance resilience and equity in resource planning.
