About Dr. Sreeparvathy Vijay

I am an Assistant Professor in the Civil Engineering Department at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras specializing in the field of Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering (HWRE).

Before joining IIT Madras, I did my PhD at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. As part of my doctoral research, I have proposed novel univariate and multivariate network design methodologies for ground-based monitoring of various hydrometeorological variables for present and future climate change scenarios considering multiple satellite and ground-based measurements. The thesis also aimed at assessing the global-scale spatiotemporal variability, trends, and hotspot regions of different extreme events (long-lasting droughts and flash droughts) for historical and future climate change scenarios.

Research Interests: Hydroclimatic extremes, Geosptial Data Science, Design of hydrometeorological monitoring networks, Climate change impact assessment, Regionalization for hydrologic studies, Non-stationarity of hydrometeorological variables, Hydrological applications using remote sensing products, Stochastic and ML/DL techniques for hydro-climatic studies.
