Biography
Yared Abayneh Abebe is a PhD researcher in Urban Water Systems at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education, Delft, The Netherlands. He received his BSc in Soil and Water Engineering and Management from Haramaya University, Ethiopia and his MSc in Water Science and Engineering, specialization Hydroinformatics from IHE Delft. His research interests include policy analysis, the use of agent-based and hydrodynamic models, and hazard, exposure, vulnerability and risk assessments in disaster risk management, with a particular focus on hydro-meteorological hazards such as floods and hurricanes.
