He is the former dean of engineering at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York. He is also a fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and a diplomat of the American Academy of Water Resources Engineers. Dr. Karamouz received his BS in civil engineering from Shiraz University, his MS in water resources and environmental engineering from George Washington University, and his PhD in hydraulics and systems engineering from Purdue University. Among many professional positions and achievements, he also serves on a number of task committees for the ASCE. In his academic career spanning 35years, he has held positions as a tenured professor at Pratt Institute (Schools of Engineering and Architecture in Brooklyn), at Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, and at Tehran Polytechnic in Iran. He was a visiting professor in the Department of Hydrology and Water Resources at the University of Arizona, Tucson, 2000-2003, and a research professor and Director of Environmental Engineering Program at the Polytechnic Institute of NYU, 2009-2014. He was also the founder and former president of Arch Construction and Consulting Co. Inc. in New York City in 1986 for over ten years. This company was the leading planning firm in Queens. NY during that time and was engaged in a major capacity building among young engineers and architects. His teaching and research interests include integrated water resources planning and management, flood resilient cities, groundwater and surface water hydrology and pollution, systems analysis and design, urban environmental systems management, DEM and Satellite data error analysis and downscaling, environmental visualization including image processing, pattern recognition, and data assimilation. He has more than 350 research and scientific publications, books, and book chapters to his credit, including five text books: Water Resources System Analysis published by Lewis Publishers in 2003 Urban Water Engineering and Management (2010), and Hydrology & Hydroclimatology (2012), Groundwater Hydrology (1st ed. 2011 and 2nd ed. 2020), and Water Systems Analysis, Design, and Planning: Urban Infrastructure (2022) published by CRC Press. He also coauthored a book entitled Urban Water Cycle Processes and Interactions published by Taylor & Francis Group in 2008, and was the editor of the book entitled the Livable Cities of the Future (2014) published, in collaboration with the National Academy of Engineers (NAE) by the National Academies Press in Washington, D.C. Professor Karamouz serves internationally as a consultant to both private and governmental agencies, such as UNESCO and the World Bank. In 2017, he received the year distinguished researcher award of the University of Tehran.
