DOE Related Projects
Mohammed is a DOE Fellow at the Applied Research Center (ARC) under the mentorship of Dr. Mehrnoosh Mahmoudi. Mohammed is currently working on environmental remediation and surface water modeling of Tims Branch Watershed at the Savannah River Site (SRS), South Carolina. His work consists of working with geographic information systems (GIS) and hydrology models (e.g., MIKE 11) to provide imaging and analysis of radioactive contamination and dissipation within the SRS. Experimenting with this tool, among other computer modeling platforms, will assist in determining the fate and transport of the SRS contaminants.
