Biography

Dr. Alanood Alkhaled is currently an assistant professor in the Civil Engineering Department at Kuwait University. She earned her PhD in environmental engineering from the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor in 2009. Dr. Alkhaled’s PhD focused on using geostatistical tools for assessing the spatial variability, quantifying representation errors, and the gap-filling of remotely sensed atmospheric carbon dioxide. Additional research conducted by Dr. Alkhaled included using geostatistical methods to improve parameter estimation of water quality models. Currently, Dr. Alkhaled’s research interests include meshless numerical methods, as well as spatio-temporal statistical methods for the modeling of urban air pollution at small spatial resolutions. Dr. Alkhaled is also interested in the applications of these models (e.g. source apportionment, risk assessment, and designing monitoring networks).
