Jaipur, Rajasthan, India
I am an associate professor at Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, with over 15 years of experience in teaching and research in the field of atmospheric sciences. My focus is on building climate modelling capacity at BIT, characterizing the physical and optical properties of aerosols, study of natural disaster(e.g:- lightning, fog) and assimilating water vapor data in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. I have expertise in various environmental and climate models and tools, such as WRF (a regional mesoscale models), chemistry transport models (WRF-Chem, MOCAGE), satellite data, and aerosol instruments. I have published multiple papers in peer-reviewed journals and received honours for my contributions to the scientific community. I am passionate about advancing the knowledge and understanding of the atmospheric processes and their impacts on the environment and society.
Department :- Centre of Excellence in Climatology Focus :- Initiative on building Climate modelling capacity at BIT; Characterizing the physical and optical properties of aerosol with observational data, satellite data and by modelling.
Department :- Applied Mathematics
I have worked with Water Vapour Assimilation in UTLS through a Chemistry Transport Model.
Work as Research Staff in UCLA during 2008. Analyzed the optical properties of aerosol and looks to the dependence of the refractive index, single scattering albedo and specific absorption on aerosol composition, morphology, mixing state and aerosol age.
