Dr. Foad Brakhasi

Research Fellow
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Room 116, Building 36

I received my B.S. degree in natural resources engineering—forestry from the Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Gorgan, Iran, in 2012, and the M.Sc. degree in remote sensing and geographical information system—water and soil resources from Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Iran, in 2016. I am currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in civil engineering with Monash University, Clayton, VIC, Australia. My current research focuses on developing a multifrequency soil moisture profile retrieval model using L-band and P-band to provide more comprehensive soil moisture information over the soil profile. My research interests mainly include microwave remote sensing of soil moisture.
