I graduated from Tribhuvan University (TU Nepal) with a Masters degree in water resources engineering. I completed my Phd from University of Yamanashi, Japan, in the year 2008. I then joined Hydroscience Montpellier, France (a joint research unit between CNRS, IRD, University of Montepllier I & II), as a postdoctoral researcher for one year. As a postdoctoral researcher, my work involved temporal extension of meteorological records for simulation modeling of Lake Chad Basin (Africa) using satellite rainfall data and reanalysis datasets. I then joined the Irish Climate Analysis and Research Units (ICARUS) at the National University of Ireland Maynooth and worked for nearly 2 years on a project exploring the uncertainties in future hydrological impacts of climate change. I am now working with Dr. Vasu Misra on hydrological modeling, seasonal hydrologic forecasting, and the hydrologic impact of climate variability.
My research objective concerns the terrestrial water cycle of medium to large river basins and investigates the effect of climate and global change on water resources and hydrologic regimes, including floods and droughts. My areas of current activity include the parameterization of hydrologic processes for hydrological models and uncertainty analysis of environmental models; satellite remote sensing for rainfall estimation, surface water, scenario and probabilistic led approaches for evaluating impact of climate change in water availability. Hydrological models, global data sets, GIS, Data visualization tools and remote sensing tools are typical components of my research work.
