BIOGRAPHY:
Meghana joined the CoRE Lab in Spring 2023 as a Postdoctoral Researcher. She has a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Visvesvaraya Technological University (India) and a master’s in water resources engineering from University Visveswaraya College of Engineering (India). Her PhD in Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology Madras (India) focused on non-stationary modelling of extreme precipitation under the influence of large-scale teleconnections.
RESEARCH:
She is working on data-driven reconstruction of storm surge using statistical and machine learning algorithms to support a wide range of global climate-resilience efforts. Her research mainly focuses on assessing extreme weather events under changing climate and variability, includes modelling non-stationarity, causality, regional frequency analysis, and statistical downscaling.
