Experience : Research and development, capacity building &
teaching experience of more than 7 years in the areas
of water resources. My research interest includes
water resources planning & management, watershed
management, climate change, hydrologic modeling,
groundwater modelling, irrigation & drainage
engineering, application of advanced techniques
such as soft computing techniques (Fuzzy Logic,
ANFIS), remote sensing and GIS. I have wide
experience in application of statistical techniques in
water resources assessment with respect to
watersheds, sub-watersheds and river basin scales
using different hydrological models such as SWAT,
2
WetSpa and HBV model. I am serving as Associate
