My research interests are varied and are mainly focused on climate dynamics, predictability, data assimilation, and geophysical fluid dynamics.
The main focus of my work is currently听in gaining a better understanding of processes that impact extreme weather especially on subseasonal-to-seasonal timescales as well as better modeling of the听听and its teleconnections听using global climate models (such as the Community Earth System Model () and ECMWF听).听I am actively working on听stochastic parameterization for better representation of physical processes in climate models.听Another focus of my work is听on data assimilation in coupled ocean-atmosphere models. In the past, I have worked on assimilating ship cruise and satellite observed data into a regional eddy-permitting ocean model of the South East Pacific to better understand mesoscale ocean processes in this region using a regional ocean model called听.听I also study nonlinear data assimilation techniques to improve upon the Ensemble Kalman Filter and Adjoint-based methods in data assimilation into simplified nonlinear models of the atmosphere and climate.
I am also a visiting scholar in the听听group in the听听at the听.听I graduated from听the听听at听听in 2012.听 I previously obtained M.Sc. (Engg.) from听听in 2006 and B.Tech from听听in 2004.
