My research focuses on improving hyperlocal rainfall forecasts at daily and hourly timescales. My research also involves developing methods to monitor and forecast floods in the flood-prone region of Mumbai. I aim to combine advanced forecasting techniques, high-resolution data, and hydrological modeling tools to enhance the accuracy and reliability of rainfall and flood forecasts. My work emphasizes providing hyperlocal insights, which are essential for understanding the unique and complex dynamics of urban flood risks in a rapidly urbanizing area like Mumbai. Through this research, I aspire to bridge the gap between scientific advancements and practical applications, ensuring that the tools and models I develop can be effectively implemented by policymakers and disaster management authorities.
