San Diego State University Graduate Programs

Dear Sirs:

This letter is written on behalf of Ramin Eskandarzadeh Yazdi, who is applying to your program.

Mr. Yazdi has been a student in my class CIVE634 Surface-water Hydrology, being at the top of the class and earning a A. He has shown to be smart, hard working and dependable, which are the qualifications required for the task. In my opinion, Mr. Yazdi is very capable of undertaking the course of study for the Ph.D. program.

I recommend Mr. Yazdi without reservations for admittance to the Joint SDSU/UCSD doctoral program.

Sincerely yours,

Victor M. Ponce
Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering
