Hello there, Welcome!

I am a Climate Data Scientist specialized in developing data pipelines, analyzing large-scale ocean-atmosphere interactions, and building statistical and machine learning models on large spatiotemporal geophysical datasets.

I have expereince in industry and academia where I utiilized numerical climate models, reanalysis, and remote sensing products to quantify the impacts of extreme weather and climate variability on physical and human systems.

Currently, I am exploring the potential of using AI and LLMs to improve the geospatial data exploration and analytical approcahes.

Recent Highlights

I’m currently open to exciting opportunities in climate and data science, AI applications, and geospatial data solutions.
