Bio
I am a Civil Engineer with a master’s in water resources engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Gandhinagar. Currently, I am pursuing my doctoral research at Dept. Of Hydrology, IIT Roorkee and am a DAAD visiting scholar at Climate Causality Group. My research focuses on the Indian summer monsoon, with a particular interest in understanding and quantifying polar-tropical teleconnection patterns to improve the predictability of monsoon variability and its extremes.
Research Interests
My research focuses on the Indian summer monsoon and its teleconnections, particularly how Arctic amplification influences monsoon variability. I aim to uncover the underlying causal mechanisms that drive these long-range climate interactions, going beyond correlations to identify directional influences and feedback loops in the climate system. To address these questions, I apply tools from complex network science, which allow the representation of climate systems as networks of interacting components to understand emergent structures and pathways. In combination with causal inference techniques , I work to disentangle the multi-scale drivers of Indian summer monsoon and improve our ability to predict extreme events.
