I am a hydrologist by training, and has 13 years of experience specializing in hydrology, disaster and climate risk management. My recent work involves generation and application of medium and long range ensembles probabilistic forecasting techniques for the Region using numerical weather and climate modelling (WRF, ECMWF, APCC, etc) and demonstration of location specific early warning system for coastal hazards (i.e. cyclone, storm surge). My key areas of expertise are hydrological modeling, early warning and dissemination system design, emergency communication, incident command system, climate change adaptation and integrated water resources management. Fakhruddin graduated in civil engineering and has Master in Water Engineering and Management from AIT, Thailand. He has a PGD in Integrated Water Resource Management from United Nations University, Canada and ongoing PhD in Water Engineering and Management. He is a certified Instructor of ICS from United States Forest Service (USFS).

I have working experiences in climate risk management and disaster management field more than 15 countries ( i.e. Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Cambodia, India, Iran, Indonesia, Myanmar, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Seychelles, Thailand, USA, Vietnam, etc).
