I am currently working as an assistant professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Pandit Deendayal Energy University, Gujarat, India. I have obtained a doctoral degree in Water resources from the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (Jan 2021). My fields of interest are Computational Hydrology, water resource management, and understating the catchment response under anthropogenic changes. In my doctorate, I worked on approaches to identify the catchment’s vulnerability to environmental changes.
My current research focuses on the development of a Physio-climatic catchment characteristics dataset for the Indian subcontinent that can be utilized for prediction in the ungauged basins. I possess a strong understanding of GIS processing and am efficient in Geospatial analysis. I am highly motivated in the field of data analysis (finding meaningful insights in data), skilled in programming with R, MATLAB, and Python scripting, and looking for interdisciplinary research opportunities and collaboration. I am a passionate learner and trying to be a better teacher.
Current Research Topic
- A catchment vulnerability quantification framework for Indian subcontinent
- Procuring catchment characteristics dataset for Indian catchments.
- Understanding how climate change and socio-economics characteristics affected catchments’ streamflow response.
