Supervisor: Dr. Shruti Upadhyaya
Welcome to my academic portfolio!
I am a Ph.D. Research Scholar in the Department of Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad. My research focuses on exploring the interactions between urban heat island effects, aerosol characteristics, and precipitation patterns over Indian cities. The study employs the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF), remote sensing data, and machine learning techniques to investigate urban–atmosphere feedback mechanisms and their influence on regional climate and rainfall dynamics.
