2022.01 - 2023.01 MS Student Data Science Intern
Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, India
Developed spatiotemporal models to forecast environmental risk events (e.g., forest fires, stubble burning) using satellite data. Built ConvLSTM models achieving 0.8 temporal correlation for 1-day forecasting across geospatial grids. Designed and implemented automated data pipelines for scalable preprocessing and visualization. Enabled operational decision-making by translating real-world risk forecasting problems into ML solutions. Co-authored a peer-reviewed publication in Modeling Earth Systems and Environment.

2023.07.12 Harnessing deep learning for forecasting fire-burning locations and unveiling PM2.5 emissions
Modeling Earth Systems and Environment
The paper applies spatiotemporal deep-learning architectures—specifically ConvLSTM and ConvGRU—to predict where crop-residue and forest fires will occur across India up to three days in advance. By coupling these forecasts with meteorological and vegetation indices, the authors produce dynamic PM2.5 emission estimates, achieving a correlation of ≈ 0.8 for next-day predictions and moderate skill for days two and three, suggesting a practical route to more accurate short-term air-quality forecasts.
