Meet the researchers and faculty driving innovation at HDS Lab
Team Lead
Dr. Subbarao Pichuka
Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering
Dr. Subbarao Pichuka specializes in Hydraulics and Water Resources Engineering. His research focuses on climate change impacts on hydroclimatic variables, considering non-stationarity in hydrological modeling.
His work involves development of time-varying downscaling approaches for assessment of climate change impacts, extreme precipitation and temperature analysis, and dam safety under extreme climate conditions.
Research Interests:
- Climate Change Impact Assessment
- Hydrological Modeling & Downscaling
- Dam Safety & Risk Assessment
- Machine Learning in Hydrology
- Extreme Weather Events
