Welcome to the Page of an Academician
I take great interest in teaching; those are excited in learning and relating their learnings to the Real World.
As a teacher, I take great interest in Meteorological major and minors.
My indulgence with research includes a wide range of Earth System Science (ESS) from small-scale system {e.g. dust devil} to large-scale system {e.g. Rossby Wave}. The fusion of teaching and research makes a professor, Perfect.

As a teacher and researcher, I have more than 25 yrs of experience in various flavors of Meteorology (Creeping Droughts, Flash Flood, Fleeting Fog, Arctic Ice melt and Aerosols). I spend most of my spare time reviewing the latest research work and book chapters, and reading current development in science and technology.
