BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Das received his B. Sc. Physics (Hons) and M. Sc. (Physics) degrees from the University of Delhi. He subsequently moved to the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi to pursue M. Tech. and Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences. He worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the Earth System Physics section of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Italy from October 2016 to February 2022 and as a researcher at the Department of Meteorology, Stockholm University from March 2022 to May 2023. He then moved to the National Institute of Technology Rourkela in June 2023 as an Assistant Professor. His research interests are aerosol-climate interaction, earth system modelling, monsoon dynamics, climate change, and climate sensitivity.
