Biography
Saurabh moved to University of Tasmania, in October 2016 to commence his PhD in Quantitative Marine Science (QMS) at Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS), under the supervision of Dr. Helen Phillips (IMAS), Dr. Nathan Bindoff (IMAS) and Dr. Ming Feng (CSIRO). His work is on “The Impact of Recent Indian Ocean Warming on the Circulation, Water mass Distribution and Air-Sea Interaction in the Indian Ocean” is funded by National Environmental Science Programme (NESP) – Earth Systems and Climate Change (ESCC) Hub.
Prior to joining IMAS for his PhD Saurabh acquired his Bachelor’s in Aerospace Engineering in 2012 from The Aeronautical Society of India (AeSI). He is ardent about the fluid dynamics and thermodynamics that controls natural phenomena. For this reason he pursued his Master degree in Earth System Science & Technology from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharaghpur, India (IIT-KGP, India). During his masters he focused his research on the dynamics of meso-scale eddies in the Bay of Bengal and their impact on Atmospheric Properties.
Later he worked out a small project on the interdecadal variability of Indian Ocean warming and its associated mechanism in context of Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation and El-Niño.
