Ankan Chakraborty

Dr. Ankan Chakraborty is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Hyderabad. His research focuses on hydroclimatic extremes, hydrological modelling, sub- seasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) forecasting, and flood risk assessment. His work integrates process-based hydrological and hydrodynamic models, ensemble meteorological forecasts, Earth observation data, and uncertainty quantification to develop improved forecasting frameworks for extreme floods. His research interests include predictive hydrology, probabilistic flood forecasting, climate impacts on hydro-meteorological extremes, and climate-risk assessment, with an emphasis on translating hydroclimatic forecast information into actionable flood predictions under changing climatic conditions.
