Tania Imran heeft een BE in Milieutechniek en een MSc in Grondwater en Veranderingen in het aardsysteem. Ze heeft een Erasmusbeurs gekregen en is afgestudeerd in Water Science and Engineering aan het IHE Delft Institute for Water Education (Nederland), Environmental Engineering aan het Instituto Superior Técnico (Universiteit van Lissabon, Portugal) en Hydroscience Engineering aan de Technische Universität Dresden (Duitsland).
Eerder werkte ze als programmamedewerker bij een milieu denktank waar ze samenwerkte met ontwikkelingspartners zoals de Wereldbank, Oxfam GB, USAID en UK-BEIS aan verschillende onderzoeksagenda’s en kennisproducten. Daarnaast heeft ze uitgebreide veldwerkcampagnes ontworpen en uitgevoerd in Pakistan, Nederland en Duitsland, voornamelijk gericht op waterkwaliteit en broeikasgasemissies.
Tania heeft ook expertise in grondwatermodellering (MODFLOW), toewijzing van waterbronnen (WEAP), geospatiale analyse (QGIS), stedelijk waterbeheer (SWMM) en statistische analyse (R programmeren). Ze werkt momenteel als consultant/onderzoeker op het FutureWater kantoor in Wageningen en is vastbesloten om de steeds complexere water- en klimaatvraagstukken duurzaam aan te pakken met behulp van innovatieve tools.
