[Ph.D. Degrees] [M.Tech. Degrees 2016 onwards]


Sanhita Ghosh, Ph.D. 2023
Area of Research: Aerosol emissions over India and their impact on climate
I graduated with honours in Physics and post-graduated in Environmental science from The University of Burdwan. I completed my M.Tech in Remote sensing and GIS from SRM University, before joining as a research fellow over here. I am under the NCAP- COALESCE project, presently working on modeling for black carbon (BC) aerosol properties with a regional climate model, CHIMERE. At the starting of my Ph.D, I worked on constraining the existing BC inventory over India, reducing uncertainties in simulated BC properties, such as, surface concentration, AOD etc. I am interested to study the climatic impacts as well as the health related issues due to BC pollution over the Indian subcontinent. Beside research, I love to participate in activities, such as, cleaning of our locality, tree plantation, creating awareness among people against pollution etc.
