Current Research

I am interested in “understanding and evaluating impacts of climate change on hydrometeorological extremes”, “multivariate analysis of observed and climate model simulated hydrometeorological variables” and “development of climate resilient design standards for infrastructure facilities”. Interested candidates are welcome to submit their letter of interest, proposed project and detailed CV.
