Biography

Dr. Sanjib Sharma is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Howard University. He received his Ph.D. from the Pennsylvania State University. 

Dr. Sharma is particularly interested in advancing the predictive understanding of hydroclimatic extremes—such as floods, droughts, and heatwaves—and their cascading impacts across various sectors, including water, energy, and transportation. His research group integrates methods from data science, engineering, and earth science to inform decision-making around critical environmental challenges, with a particular emphasis on water resources planning, flood risk management, and critical infrastructure design. 

He has been an active member of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), the European Geosciences Union (EGU), and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Dr. Sharma also serves as a co-advisor to civil engineering undergraduate students and the Howard University ASCE chapter.
