2018 - present
Transdisciplinary Research & Science Communications; Gender Studies

Started my journey in science communication with Dr. John Cook at George Mason University, USA, in a misinformation-based learning project.
Designed a transdisciplinary project about communicating climate change using folk art and produced two films in my native language, Assamese. 
Collaborated with Dr. V. V. Binoy, National Institute of Advanced Studies, India, on science communication issues in India and learning about gender and age-based impact on water-information communication.
Initiated transdisciplinary voluntary research projects: debunking health-based misinformation and communicating sexual offenses and sex education through social media. Through these projects, I gained experience managing a group of diverse and enthusiastic experts from different backgrounds.
Since 2022, I have been hosting the webinar series "Climate Dialogues: Way Forward" through Zoom and YouTube Live in partnership with climate scientists and an NGO.
I completed a formal training in gender studies and also worked and studied with Gender trainers in the Republic of Korea.​​

2008 - 20017

Research in Atmospheric sciences

​I have 10 years of experience of working on the Indian summer monsoon prediction. During my research, I handled large climate data and worked in high-performance computing system. 
The goal of my PhD research was to develop a Self-Organizing Map based prediction system and a multi-model ensemble forecasting system for the probabilistic extended range prediction of Indian summer monsoon 15-20 days in advance. During my PhD and Postdoctoral research, I developed the necessary traits of percept and organizational ability to work in a group in a co-operative fashion, mandatory in any field of work.
