I am a research scholar at the Department of Architecture and Planning at Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal. I have completed my master's degree in urban planning. I am doing my research on Local climate zones and the thermal variability of urban residential neighbourhood. I have done some extensive research on the spatiotemporal variation of land surface temperature for Bhopal city. also doing research on the outdoor thermal comfort of residential neighbourhoods in peak summer and how the morphology effect the thermal comfort. right now I am trying to do some micro-climatic simulation work in ENVI-met software to understand the comparison between the actual and simulated conditions. Also creating some altered models to mitigate the extreme heat conditions.
