Research Experience
2024 - Present
Postdoctoral Fellow
UCAR CPAESS
SWx TREC, University of Colorado
Boulder, US
I am currently working on advancing space weather prediction through a hybrid modeling approach.​ My research integrates MHD simulations and machine learning techniques to study and forecast drivers of space weather.
A significant part of my work involves developing surrogate machine learning models to enhance observational inputs and improve the accuracy of space weather predictions.
2020 - 2024
PhD (PMRF)
Dept. of Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Engineering
IIT Indore, India
My PhD thesis involves understanding the space weather origin at the Sun and their propagation in the heliosphere, particularly through MHD simulation of the responsible drivers, like Solar Wind, Coronal Mass Ejection, Solar Flare, etc.
​
I also use remote sensing and in-situ observation of SOHO, STEREO, PSP, SolO, WIND, ACE, SDO, and GONG to study the space weather events.
