Biography
She obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Physics from University of Calicut, India, and her Master’s degree in Meteorology from Cochin University of Science and Technology. She completed her PhD in Meteorology at Université catholique de Louvain, where her doctoral research focused on the variability and predictability of atmospheric blocking. Her work employed a hierarchy of climate models, ranging from land–atmosphere idealised coupled models to comprehensive general circulation models (GCMs), to better understand the dynamical mechanisms governing large-scale atmospheric flow regimes.
