Dr. Ridwan Siddique is a Scientist in the Energy Systems and Climate Analysis Group at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI). His main research areas are regional and global scale hydroclimatic modeling, analysis and prediction of extreme events, uncertainty quantification, and climate risk assessment.  Dr. Siddique's current research activities examine weather and climate impacts on renewable energy and the electric power sector to facilitate climate resiliency and adaptation planning. Before joining EPRI, he worked for the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Northeast Climate Adaptation Science Center (NECASC). His dissertation was focused on improving short- to medium-range weather and flood forecasts and quantifying their associated uncertainties. He also has experience working with different federal, state, and private organizations like NOAA, NASA, Massachusetts State Office of Energy and Environment, Massachusetts Department of Transportation, and Idaho Power on climate analysis and research collaborations. Dr. Siddique received his PhD from the Pennsylvania State University in Civil Engineering with a major in Hydrology and Water Resources and minor in Computational Science. He earned his MS from the University of Texas at Arlington and BS from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology.
