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
