Research

Currently, we are working on urban flood modeling for Hyderabad City and riverine flood modeling for the Brahmaputra-, Godavari-, and Narmada- River basins. Our efforts also include rainfall forecasting. Both physics-, physically-, and AI/ML-based techniques are being explored.

A year ago, we came up with a small video showcasing what we are working on, and here it goes. Since then, we have a few developments, and one is a mobile application, SnapFlood TM

Research Projects
