Mr. Shuvojit Nath
Shuvojit Nath is currently a joint Ph.D. student of IIT Bombay, India and Monash University, Australia working on “Algorithms for improving Satellite Rainfall Estimates using Surface Soil Moisture” under the supervision of Prof. RAAJ Ramsankaran (IIT Bombay) and Prof. Jeffrey Walker (Monash University). He began his academic journey at the National Institute of Technology Durgapur, India graduating with First Class Distinction in Civil Engineering, followed by pursuing a Master’s degree in Hydroscience and Engineering from Technische Universität Dresden, Germany. He has worked on application of geospatial statistics in groundwater for his master’s thesis under the guidance of Prof. Thomas Wöhling. During his master’s and immediately after that, he worked as an intern and then as a Senior Research Assistant at the United Nations University Institute for Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of Resources (UNU-FLORES) in Dresden, Germany under the supervision of Dr. Sabrina Kirschke on UNEP-funded projects related to the implementation of Citizen Science in Freshwater, Groundwater and Plastics monitoring additionally working on science communication.
