Bio

I am a climate scientist with academic training spanning meteorology, oceanography, and climate dynamics, holding an M.Sc. in Meteorology and an M.Tech. in Atmospheric Sciences from Andhra University, and a Ph.D. in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from NIT Rourkela, where my doctoral research focused on monsoon variability and climate dynamics.
My research integrates advanced climate modeling (CESM2, RegCM5, WRF), large-scale diagnostic analysis, and high-performance computing to investigate the dynamics of the Indian Summer Monsoon, AMOC–monsoon teleconnections, ENSO interactions, tropical–extratropical coupling, and sub-seasonal to seasonal prediction. I have developed specialized diagnostic frameworks for identifying climate system transitions and tipping elements, and have collaborated actively with international research groups across Europe, North America, and South Asia. My work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals.
