Dr. Shivam Singh (Postdoctoral Research Associate)

Dr. Shivam Singh is currently a Climate Fellow (Postdoctoral Research Associate) at the Environmental Institute, University of Virginia, where he continues to advance his research in climate science. He holds a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Indore. His doctoral research focused on understanding atmospheric rivers (narrow corridors of concentrated moisture in the atmosphere) and their role in extreme weather events such as floods and droughts. His work involved leveraging deep learning techniques to predict the occurrence and impact of these atmospheric phenomena, aiming to improve forecasting and mitigate the effects of climate extremes. At present he is focusing on developing Generative AI techniques to downscale climate data.
