About

I am an environmental and water resources engineer with expertise in non-stationary modelling of extreme rainfall, flood hazard mapping, and hydraulic modelling. My research focuses on understanding the effects of climate change on extreme weather events.

Currently, as a Project Scientist at Divecha Centre for Climate Change, Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru, I am working on understanding the impact of extreme humid heat stress over India. Previously, I worked as a Science Officer and Project Associate at the same organization, where I liaised with Future Earth Coasts and engaged with experts, stakeholders, and the public to identify solutions for reducing coastal risks in South Asian countries.

I have been part of several research projects, including non-stationary modelling of future Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) Curves for the Monsoon Asia region, creating flood hazard maps for River Baxter and River Periyar using HEC-RAS, assessing water quality using GIS and Remote Sensing, and hydraulic modelling of the Maniyari irrigation canal using HEC-RAS. My research contributions are published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at various international conferences.
