Hi, thank you for visiting my website. I am a postdoctoral research associate in the Environmental Fluid Mechanics Lab at the University of Notre Dame. I am studying atmospheric boundary layer processes using observations from research cruises in the Indian Ocean. Previously, I was at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS), University of Leeds, where I studied the effects of mountain ranges on winds and rainfall during the Indian summer monsoon in climate models as a part of the IMPROVE project.

I did my Ph.D. at the Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. For my Ph.D. thesis, I studied the dynamics of stationary cyclonic storms that were responsible for the 2015 South India floods. This was the first study to link extreme rainfall over the east coast of India to the Eastern Ghats mountains. I also wrote an automated cloud-tracking algorithm to study the organization of deep convection in the INSAT satellite imagery.
