Recently, he has completed USAID-funded industry-academia project as PI in “Closed-loop secondary level canal monitoring for equitable and reliable distribution of water” in October/November 2019 in collaboration with SIDA, LUMS Lahore and University of Utah, two projects on groundwater as Co-PI regarding Smart groundwater monitoring and Sustainable Management of Fresh Groundwater for Irrigated Agriculture and Livelihood of Rural Areas of Sindh in 2021 in lower Indus region.
Presently, he is working on the Metering the aquifer using smart monitoring and a data-driven approach to assist in devising an adaptive groundwater management strategy in Balochistan as a lead PI from MUET and Living with Salinity in Lower Indus Region, Building Adaptive Capacity to Improve Livelihoods of Farming Communities of Malwah Distributary as Focal Person.
Dr. Qureshi has more than 100 research papers, published in International/National Research Journals and presented in international/ national conferences/symposiums. Dr. Qureshi has worked as a resource person for delivering lectures in various training to irrigation engineers, on-farm water management officers, service providers and farmers at the national level. He has also worked as a resource person with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of United Nations for the capacity building in support of Water Sector Improvement Project (WSIP) for the improvement of the irrigation system in Sindh in 2004-05.
