Hey I'm Aditya

(Pronounced: uh-DIT-yuh or aa-dhith-yah where aa as in "far," dh as in "there,"ith as in "myth," and yah as in "Maya". It is a Sanskrit-origin name pronounced with a slight emphasis on the second syllable and means "Sun God".)

I am a PhD student at University of Melbourne, where my research explores changes in the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), its impacts and its changes in a warming world under both high and low emissions futures. I am passionate about understanding the complex interactions between the ocean and atmosphere, and how these interactions influence global climate patterns and human systems.

Beyond the lab, I am an avid photographer. I find that the patience required for photographing moments -- mirrors the meticulous nature of academic research—both require a keen eye for the details that others might overlook.

Currently, I am working on understanding the robustness of projected ENSO teleconnection changes and the diagnosing the sources of uncertainties in the models using single model large ensembles. I am always open to collaborations regarding ENSO, climate variability, and nonlinear response under zero-emission scenarios.

I am always excited to connect with fellow researchers, students, and anyone interested in climate science and photography!)
