Research Abstract  

Project 1. Sustainable Business Models for Biosphere Reserves. Managing the biosphere reserves is challenged with the uncertain economic, dynamic of the business environments and interrelationships which are highly effected by climate change, globalization, increasing complexity and information technologies. Through a collaboration with the International Coordinating Council of the Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme of UNESCO, Dr. Mosavi collaborates on the advancement of sustainable business models as an innovative tool for monitoring and assessment of sustainability in biosphere reserves. Sustainable Business Models contribute well in promoting sustainability, efficient management of natural resources, and improving national and international communication as well as efficient monitoring and training. In his research the social, environmental and economic state of Kiskunság Biosphere Reserve, and Pilis Biosphere Reserve in Hungary are monitored and predicted for a sustainable use where relationships between people and their environment is improved.

Project 2. Advancement in prediction models. Time series forecasting/prediction highly contributes to sustainability sciences and climate change risk reduction. Novel models of prediction based on ML, AI, and soft computing algorithms have recently shown great potential in dealing with uncertainty, and improving the generalization ability particularly in policy recommendations/analysis. Dr. Mosavi, during his visit to iASK, contributes to the advancement and investigation of such data-driven prediction models. “A hybrid machine learning approach for daily prediction of solar radiation, in Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems”, “a hybrid neuro-fuzzy algorithm for prediction of reference evapotranspiration, in Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems”, “prediction of fluid segregation by lattice Boltzmann method and ANFIS, in Canadian journal of chemistry”, “drought prediction with machine learning, a review, in Journal of Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics”, “flood prediction using machine learning, literature review, in Journal of Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics”, “energy consumption prediction using machine learning, in MDPI Journal of Energies”, and “energy demand prediction with machine learning in Journal of Energies”, are a number of his research manuscripts to contribute in providing a reliable platform for analyzing the what-if scenarios and policy recommendation.
