About

PhD and M-Tech in Atmospheric sciences/Climate Science/Meteorology from IISc with 8 years of research experience on severe convective storms: Middle Tropospheric Cyclones, Tropical Cyclones, Monsoon Lows and their associated extreme rainfall. I am fluent in several programing language such as NCL, Python, Latex, Matlab, Microsoft Excel, Shell Scripting and WRF.

I am also very passionate to help common people by nowcasting of weather events at my personal capacity on various social media platforms using publically freely available numerical weather models output.

I have a keen interest in understanding weather phenomena and their dynamics, especially associated with extreme rainfall events. My primary focus has been on dynamic meteorology, particularly synoptic systems such as cyclones, severe thunderstorms, and atmospheric waves.

To understand these phenomena at different time and spatial scales, I use various numerical weather prediction models (such as WRF) and machine learning methods. Additionally, I am keen to understand how climate change might affect weather and climate extremes, so as to mitigate their adverse effects.
