Academics
I am a Post-Doctoral Equivalent Fellow at the
Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India, working in the field of Air Quality Management with
Prof. Shiva Nagendra.
My PhD research at IIT Madras was in the nexus of air quality perception, computer vision and low-cost sensors, with an overarching theme of localised and efficient urban air quality management.
In the past couple of years, I have been working on managing urban air pollution hotspots through
1) Perception based Air Quality Index, which takes into account people's perception of air pollution,
2) Low-cost sensing technology,
3) Image-based Particulate Matter prediction through Computer Vision.
During my PhD, I have worked as a teaching assistant to Prof. Shiva Nagendra for the following courses:
1. CE5015 - Environmental Monitoring and Data Analysis (2022, 2021)
2. CE5260 - Models for Water and Air Quality (2023, 2022)
3. CE5017 - Urban Transport and Environment (2021)
4. CE4810 - Air Pollution Control and Solid Waste Management (2020)
