Driven by the urgency of rising waters and shifting coastlines, my research focuses on building scientific tools to navigate multi-hazard risks in coastal zones. I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Coastal Hydrology Lab, University of Alabama, where I work on enhancing scientific understanding of freshwater-influenced coastal systems through the lens of coastal flooding, hydrodynamics, and multi-hazard flood risk modelling. Previously, I completed my Ph.D. at the Department of Water Resources Development and Management, IIT Roorkee, where I developed a unified framework for Multi-Hazard Flood Risk Mapping in coastal regions prone to compound flooding from rainfall and storm tides. As a recipient of the prestigious DAAD fellowship, I had the opportunity to collaborate with researchers at GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam, further enriching my understanding of coastal risk systems and data-driven hazard mapping. With a strong interdisciplinary foundation in hydrology, flood modeling, geospatial analysis, and risk science, my work aims to support informed decision-making for climate-resilient coastal infrastructure and adaptive risk governance.
