Dara Entekhabi is the Bacardi and Stockholm Water Foundations Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research spans a variety of topics in hydrology, including land-atmosphere interactions, surface water - groundwater interactions, data assimilation, and remote sensing.
In 2015, he was named Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)[1] for contributions to microwave remote sensing of soil moisture. In 2017, he was elected as a member of National Academy of Engineering for leadership in the hydrologic sciences including the scientific underpinnings for satellite observation of the Earth's water cycle.[2]
