# overview
Dr. Talchabhadel is a Research Scientist at Texas A&M University, USA, where he leads Hydrology, Remote sensing, and Water Research at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research Center in El Paso. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering and his MSc. in Water Resources Engineering from the Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University. In 2017, he was awarded his Ph.D. in Civil and Earth Resources Engineering from Kyoto University, Japan. He also obtained a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship from the Japan Government for his post-doctoral research.

He has published over 70 papers that address pressing issues of the 21st century toward a better understanding of the changes in hydrologic systems under climate change for sustainable water management. His expertise includes Hydrology, Climate Change, Hydraulics, Sediment Transport, and Geospatial modeling. Earth Observations, Machine Learning, and Big Data Analytics are a substantial part of his research.
