Professional Service

  • Aug 2023-May 2024 – Assistant Professor – Vikas Group of Institutions, Vijayawada.
  • March 2017- Aug 2017– Assistant Professor – Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab.
  • July 2014-Feb 2017– Assistant Professor – Maharishi Markandeshwar University, Haryana.

Research Interests

  • River hydraulics for understanding river flows, sediment transport, and river morphology through advanced 3D- numerical models. By integrating field measurements, laboratory experiments, and CFD and GA, I aim to improve flood prediction, hydraulic structure design, and river restoration for sustainable river management and flood risk mitigation.
  • Hydrological modelling for simulating the hydrological cycle, including precipitation, evapotranspiration, infiltration, runoff, and groundwater flow. I use physically-based and data-driven models, remote sensing technologies such as ARC-GIS, ERDAS and ML to improve model accuracy and predictive capabilities and supports water resource management, flood forecasting, and drought assessment.
  • Impacts of climate change on water resources management, focusing on changes in temperature, precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events affect water availability, quality, and distribution. Using climate models, hydrological simulations, and risk assessment frameworks, I investigate water resource vulnerability and develop adaptive strategies and mitigation measures.
