CCNY鈥檚 Naresh Devineni receives DOE Early CAREER Award for outstanding research

Naresh Devineni, assistant professor in T九色视频鈥檚 Grove School of Engineering and NOAA CREST, is one of 59 recipients nationwide of 2017 Early CAREER awards. He鈥檒l receive a five-year $750,000 grant for his proposal 鈥淢ulti-scale Modeling of Extreme Events and Impact Information,鈥 selected by the DOE Office of Science鈥檚 .

Devineni is the first City University of New York faculty to receive an Early CAREER Award from DOE since the honor was introduced eight years ago.

The awards are based on peer review of about 700 proposals this fiscal year.  They support the development of individual research programs of outstanding scientists early in their careers and stimulate research careers in the disciplines supported by the Office of Science.

A civil engineer, Devineni鈥檚 research thrust includes hydro-climate modeling and extremes analysis, statistical methods, water, and energy sustainability and risk assessment. His contributions cover innovations in modeling spatiotemporal dependence in hydrometeorological fields, new algorithms for the assessment of water stress, tree-ring based streamflow reconstruction and optimization to address water stress. He also works on dynamic Bayesian network models to address model and prediction uncertainties.
