Dr. Dhouha Ouali is a Research Associate at PCIC with a background in statistical hydrometeorology, environmental modeling, and risk analysis. She is currently working on producing updated engineering design values for various meteorological variables, that account for the ongoing and projected changes in Canadian climate. Before taking this position, she worked as a Project and Knowledge Mobilization Manager of the Climate-Related Precipitation Extremes project, within the Global Water Futures program (GWF). Prior to arriving at PCIC, Dr. Ouali worked as a Climate Scaling Extreme Analyst at the Canadian Centre for Climate Modelling and Analysis. Dr. Dhouha Ouali was awarded her PhD degree in Water Sciences from the INRS-ETE in Quebec, and holds an engineering degree in hydro-meteorology from the National Engineering School of Tunis (ENIT, Tunisia).
