On the record

Currently, I am working as research manager in the field of water resources and climate change adaptation at Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) at Hayama Headquarter, Japan. In parallel, I am also serving as Head, IPBES-TSU on Scenarios and Models. Prior to this, I worked as JSPS/UNU-IAS postdoctoral fellow in University of Tokyo and United Nations University, Institute for Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS), Tokyo; for more than three years. A geoscientist by training (obtained his PhD from University of Tsukuba, Japan as a MEXT fellow), my research work focused on climate change adaptation, socio-hydrology, water security, hydrological simulation and scenario modelling, and water-health-food-energy nexus, a transdisciplinary work aimed to give policy relevant solutions to enhance community resilience to global change and a sustainable development of water environment and human well-being. In addition, I am actively engaged in capacity development on various numerical tools used for water resource management, intended for local government officials and relevant stakeholders in different Asian countries. I also have work experience with different global assessments like IPCC, IPBES and GEO 7 as Chapter scientist and Lead author respectively. So far, I have published several peer reviewed articles (n=189) in high impact factor journals, one authored book, one edited book, one monograph, Chapter from IPCC assessment report. ResearchGate-
