Rahim Barzegar est professeur adjoint à l'Institut de recherche sur les mines et l'environnement (IRME) de l'Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (UQAT). Il est titulaire d'un doctorat en hydrogéologie de l'Université de Tabriz en Iran. Il a également complété des bourses postdoctorales à l'Université McGill, à l'Université Wilfrid Laurier et à l'Université de Waterloo au Canada. Son principal domaine de recherche se concentre sur l'exploration de nouvelles approches en modélisation hydro(géo)logique et environnementale, en particulier en utilisant des techniques d'apprentissage automatique et d'apprentissage en profondeur. De plus, il participe activement à d'autres projets de recherche tels que l'analyse et la modélisation de séries chronologiques, l'évaluation de la qualité de l'eau, l'évaluation de la vulnérabilité et des risques des eaux souterraines, la gestion des ressources en eau et l'examen des impacts du changement climatique sur les ressources en eau.
