Ahmed Ehab Talat Abdelmounim, Assistant lecturer at Soil Science Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. PhD Candidate (Soil and Water Conservation), China. I published more than 6 articles in international journals, and participated in many workshops, training courses, and international conferences. My focus on the dynamics of soil and water science is the main part of my work, with a particular focus on the interactions between hydrology and soil physics. My work includes predicting soil water flow using computational tools and mathematical models to forecast intricate soil-water interactions. My objective is to create predictive frameworks that optimize irrigation techniques, guide land-use decisions, and reduce risks erosion.
