I'm Bibek, a Civil Engineering graduate of IOE Pulchowk Campus (B.E. 2026) and a prospective graduate student. My research covers flood and debris-flow reconstruction, hydrological modelling with machine-learning diagnostics, design rainfall for urban drainage, and earthquake hazard in the Kathmandu Valley. Four of my papers (three as first author) are accepted for GeoMandu 2027 (Springer proceedings), and two journal manuscripts have been submitted. I work with HEC-RAS, SWAT, mHM, OpenSees, Google Earth Engine, ArcGIS/QGIS and Python.

With a creative edge, I enjoy capturing unique ideas, whether through my sketchbook or the videos I create for my YouTube channel, where I've grown a supportive community of over 3,000 subscribers.

Rasuwa Rock-Ice Avalanche and Debris Flood

Lende–Bhote Koshi–Trishuli–Narayani river system, Nepal

Reconstructed the 26 August 2026 debris flood with HEC-RAS 6.6 two-dimensional models on conditioned 12.5 m terrain over 195 km, from the Nepal–China border at Rasuwagadhi to Devghat.
Evaluated the runs against a satellite-mapped flood footprint (best critical success index about 0.72) and six DHM gauge timings, using Sentinel-1 SAR (Google Earth Engine), Sentinel-2, Landsat and differenced 2 m DEMs.
Screened the exposure of buildings, roads and hydropower assets and tested debris-dam breach scenarios.

2026

Residual Learning as a Hydrological Model Diagnostic, Arun Basin

Lead author • manuscript submitted to Hydrological Sciences Journal

Calibrated a multi-site SWAT model of the 33,400 km² Arun basin and corrected its daily discharge with gradient boosting under nested leave-one-year-out validation, with LSTM and ridge baselines and SHAP attribution.
Raised Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency from 0.53–0.66 to 0.70–0.81 at three nested gauges and showed that small pooled biases hid 21–33% overestimation of the lowest flows.
Calibrated mHM 5.13/mRM for the basin (KGE 0.847 in calibration, 0.836 in validation) after testing five precipitation products against the catchment water balance.

2026

Design Rainfall for Urban Storm Drains, 52 Indian Million-Plus Cities

Lead author • manuscript submitted to Journal of Hydrologic Engineering (ASCE)

Located a 1975 gauge-network jump in IMD gridded rainfall with break tests and fitted GEV distributions by L-moments to the 5-year design depth of 52 cities, separating the step from trend with a nonstationary model.
Monte Carlo simulation showed that the national manual's decadal-update rule raises design depths in half of trend-free records; a one-sided likelihood-ratio test kept false alarms near 7%.
