Sree Anusha Ganapathiraju

I am a doctoral student in the IIT Hyderabad Dept. of Climate Change. I’ve embarked on a journey to unravel the intricate dynamics of climate systems and contribute significantly to this realm of research. My PhD research focuses on developing advanced frameworks to identify Extreme Precipitation Events (EPEs) for the Indian subcontinent. By leveraging semi-supervised deep-learning models, I aim to comprehensively understand EPEs and their physical mechanisms and explore regional dynamics while offering valuable insights for climate understanding and risk assessment. Recently, I received DAAD research grants to conduct part of my PhD at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research.

I hold a BS-MS Dual Degree in Mathematics from NIT Agartala, where I graduated with a gold medal. I have been awarded prestigious fellowships, including DAAD-WISE and SRFP, at Otto Von Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany, and NISER Bhubaneswar, India.  My professional experience includes a role as a Junior Research Fellow at ISRO's Space Technology and Incubation Center (S-TIC), wherein we combined data science and deep learning to identify ionospheric abnormalities as earthquake precursors.

My strong foundation in mathematics and data science fuels my ambition to bridge theoretical climate science with practical, data-driven solutions to address climate change challenges. I firmly believe that no effort is too small to make a difference.
