PhD

My research will focus on identifying the factors that influence the size and intensity of extreme events, particularly extreme precipitation. By linking these factors to underlying processes, physics, and dynamics, this work aims to deepen our understanding of why the sizes and intensity of extremes change and how they may evolve in the future under a cha..

PhD

My research focuses on the thermodynamic perspective of large-scale extreme precipitation using moist static energy as a framework. I aim to study convective aggregation, primarily over India's core monsoon region.
