I am currently doing my Ph.D. as a part of the Hydro Remote Sensing Applications Group (H-RSA), Department of Civil Engineering, IITB and School of Earth, Atmosphere, and Environment, Monash University, where my research focuses on understanding the past, present, and future water cycles in High Mountain Asia using glacier evolution modelling, satellite datasets, and climate data.
My research interests include- glacial studies, the impact of climate change on glaciers of High Mountain Asia, simulations and projections of glacier evolutions. Previously I have worked on permafrost modeling based on various climate datasets.
I am also a photographer finding stories from high mountain regions and wish to present a hybrid visual-scientific narrative, to create impactful and world-changing stories and research. In addition, I have also completed training in mountaineering from the esteemed Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (HMI) in Darjeeling, India, and was awarded with a grade of 'A'.
