Maoya Bassiouni

Postdoctoral Researcher

I am a postdoctoral researcher with the Quantitative Ecosystem Dynamics Lab at UC Berkeley, in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy and Management.

As an ecohydrologist, I combine physical and eco-evolutionary theory with data science to understand how vegetation interacts with environmental change and how these interactions influence water, carbon, and energy cycles from soil, plant, to the biosphere.

I'm passionate about interdisciplinary research and developing tractable and trustworthy tools to empower nature-based climate change mitigation and adaptation solutions. I aspire to foster collaboration across sectors to actualize sustainable development goals.
