dr. ir. Sardar Ateeq studied MSc, and PhD in hydraulic and water resources engineering [Civil Engineering] and obtained a PhD with the highest distinction from the Technical University of Munich, Germany for automizing hydrodynamic and morphodynamic simulations which significantly reduces the projects cost and enhances the preciseness of engineering designs and numerical calculations. He is also actively involved in developing and improving hydrodynamic and morphodynamic simulation tools according to project requirements. He believes in open science and open-source numerical modelling tools.
