I am working in computational earth science group in ORNL.I am interested in climate change and studying the impact of climate change in different earth system cycles. Apart from my studies, I like hiking, cooking and interacting to people.
Education
I got my master’s in entomology from Purdue University and did my undergraduate studies in Nepal
Research
My research is mostly focused around droughts and it’s effect on different types of vegetation in changing climate. Currently, I am using spatiotemporal data to understand these effects and hoping to apply machine learning tools to predict future drought conditions and how plants respond to it.
