 Junior Scientist About me I am a Junior Scientist at the Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment (KSCSTE) with research expertise in climate change impacts on water resources, rainfall prediction, hydrological extremes, and downscaling of climate models. My work combines chaos theory, complex networks, machine learning, and physics informed approaches to improve climate and hydrological predictions. I have published in leading international journals, presented at AGU, EGU and AOGS, and received recognitions including the Prime Minister’s Research Fellowship and the AGU B DEI Travel Grant. I am committed to advancing research that supports climate resilience and sustainable water management. Name of Schemes &programmes (including external funded Programmes):
