Bibek is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Texas A&M AgriLife Research, where he uses process-based modeling to improve corn water use efficiency and refine cotton production recommendations, including developing crop water production functions. He holds a Ph.D. in Agriculture and Biological Engineering from the University of Florida. His doctoral work centered on assessing nitrogen and water transport within a rotational production system. This research involved extensive field investigations and the use of hydrological and crop growth models, including DSSAT, HYDRUS, and SWAT, to tackle challenges related to nutrient management and water quality in agricultural environments. In 2018, Bibek completed his master’s degree at the University of Wyoming, where his thesis focused on quantifying and mapping crop evapotranspiration using satellite remote sensing and process-based models such as METRIC, SEBAL, SEBS, and S-SEBI. Bibek’s interest in agricultural water management began during his undergraduate studies at Tribhuvan University in Nepal. Since then, he has continued to expand his expertise, presenting his research at several international conferences and authoring four publications to date.
