I am a Technical Geographer, currently pursuing my PhD at the FGRS Lab. I am studying the rivers of central India, emphasizing the importance of defining riverspaces. My work involves examining the hydro-morphology of modern floodplains and river channels to prepare for future flood risks. I am also interested in understanding the human impact on river health, considering the quality and quantity of flow and riparian vegetation.
