About
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at IIT Mandi, specializing in hydrology, earth observation, and the cryosphere. My research focuses on flood and flash flood modelling, landslide hazard zonation, snow and glacier dynamics, and cloud-based geospatial analytics using Google Earth Engine.
Prior to joining IIT Mandi, I served as a Scientist-B at the National Institute of Hydrology and earned my Ph.D. in Water Resources Development and Management from IIT Roorkee. My work aims to advance water resources planning, climate change impact assessment, and natural hazard mitigation through innovative geospatial technologies and collaborative research.
