Dr. Mohsen Hajibabaei, a visiting scholar from the University of Innsbruck, presented at the EWRI 2021 conference in the United States and the CCWI 2024 conference in Italy. During his time at the University of Texas at Arlington, Dr. Hajibabaei spent four months expanding collaboration between UT Arlington and the University of Innsbruck in the resilience assessment and enhancement of water distribution systems. He worked with an interdisciplinary team of professors specializing in infrastructure systems, water resources, and ecological environments.

In collaboration, Dr. Hajibabaei developed efficient graph theory-based approaches for assessing and enhancing the resilience of water distribution networks. The findings have been published in the AQUA journal and presented at both the EWRI 2021 and CCWI 2024 conferences. The research has also been documented in a research report for the Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation.
