Congratulations to Abrar, who has just passed her PhD on the subject of Temporal Scaling of Hydrological Time Series in a Shallow Permeable Aquifer. Working with colleagues at the British Geological Survey (BGS) along with those at Imperial College, Abrar has investigated the scaling properties in a range of hydrological and meteorological variables in connection with a shallow gravel aquifer in hydraulic connection with the River Thames. Her work, explores the controls and influences on groundwater scaling properties. She shows the importance of the structure of the rainfall and how this is modified by the properties of the unsaturated zone. Further information on this work is available from http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022169417302548 and more will be published in due course. She has made an important contribution to this interesting area of hydrology.

Abrar worked with us in COWI Bahrain for a period of 2 years. Abrar always delivered engineering work of a very high quality. She learned how to work with complex hydraulic computer models for simulation of storm water and waste water systems. She mastered the use of these complex models in a matter of a few months; a discipline that usually takes a couple of years to master. Abrar is a great team player. Abrar has a great personality and she blended well with other team members. Our multicultural team consisted of a team of engineers from Denmark, Ireland, UK, India and Bahrain. Abrar had ambitions and she decided to go to the UK to pursue an MSc and PhD in the field of water resources; a decision that I supported. Abrar has the talent it takes for a successful outcome. I can recommend any employer to hire Abrar. She is talented, intelligent, can think out of the box and hard working. A rare combination and a dream for an employer that requires a talented engineer in their team.
