ABOUT ME
Welcome to my webpage! I am an Atmospheric Sciences Ph.D. student at IIT Delhi. Before joining IIT Delhi in 2014, I did my Masters from Department of Atmospheric and Space Sciences and Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune, India. My research interests include Climate Modeling, Climate Data Analysis and Application, Climate Change and Climate Extreme, Atmospheric Dynamics, Indian Monsoon Dynamics, Geoengineering, Statistical Analysis. I am passionate about my research with an indepth knowledge of atmospheric sciences, also I have an experience in analysis of observations, reanalysis, and climate model outputs. I have worked with different research groups which has enabled me to have decent communication and organizational skills. Currently, I am in search for a Post-Doc position in my area of interest.EDUCATION
