Expert in Hydrology, Hydraulics, HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, GIS & Python

Md Arifur R.

Hello! I am a Senior Water Resources Engineer with over 14 years of experience in Civil and Water Resources Engineering, specializing in hydrology, hydraulics, flood modeling, stormwater management, GIS, and Python programming. I hold a PhD in Civil Engineering, as well as PE, CFM, GISP, ENV SP, and PMI-ACP certifications.

I have extensive experience in hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) modeling, bridge hydraulics, floodplain analysis, drainage design, and stormwater projects across the United States. My expertise includes HEC-RAS 1D/2D, HEC-HMS, SWMM, Delft3D-FM, storm surge modeling, GIS analysis, flood risk assessment, scour analysis, and automation using Python and MATLAB.

In addition to industry experience, I have several years of university-level teaching and mentoring experience. I have taught undergraduate and graduate courses, including Hydrology, Fluid Mechanics, Open Channel Flow, Hydraulic Structures, Irrigation Engineering, Groundwater Engineering, and GIS & Remote Sensing. I have also mentored students in research, thesis work, technical projects, and engineering software applications.

I tutor a wide range of subjects, including:
• Hydrology & Hydraulics
• HEC-RAS & HEC-HMS
• GIS Analysis
• Delft3D-FM
• SWMM / Stormwater Modeling
• Python Programming for Engineers
• Fluid Mechanics & Open Channel Flow
• Floodplain & FEMA Modeling
• Watershed Delineation & Drainage Design

My teaching approach focuses on simplifying complex engineering concepts through practical examples and real-world applications. I work one-on-one with students to strengthen both theoretical understanding and technical problem-solving skills. For software-based tutoring, I provide hands-on training using practical engineering workflows commonly used in professional projects.

I enjoy helping students succeed in coursework, research, software training, and professional development, and I tailor each session to the student’s goals and learning style.
