Dr Jisha Joseph

Postdoctoral Researcher
Joseph

Jisha is a researcher at PIK since March 2023. She completed her PhD in Water Resources Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Mumbai, India. She is currently a part of the EU project-TranformAr, where she is involved in the setting up of a European-scale eco-hydrological model. Her aim is to perform impact studies in the background of the water – land – food – energy nexus. She will also focus on evaluating the adaptations for hydrological extremes under climate change. Besides hydrological modelling, Jisha’s research interests also includes irrigation, groundwater and surface water hydrology and water resources management.
