Assist. Prof. Dr. Ruchi Singh Parihar | Climate change | Best Researcher Award

Assist. Prof. Dr. Ruchi Singh Parihar | CHRIST University | Bengaluru | India

Dr. Ruchi Singh Parihar is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bangalore, and an Associate at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy. Her research bridges climate science, data analytics, and public health, with expertise in climate change impacts on human health, climate and atmospheric modeling, environmental epidemiology, and climate risk assessment. Holding a Ph.D. in Climate Change and Health from IIT Delhi, she applies statistical and dynamical modeling, remote sensing, and GIS techniques to explore the influence of climate variability on vector-borne diseases and environmental systems. Dr. Parihar is proficient in working with global climate models (GCMs), high-performance computing, and scientific programming tools, contributing to impactful publications in top-tier journals including Nature Scientific Reports, GeoHealth, and iScience. She has received multiple international research and travel grants from globally recognized institutions such as the NSF (USA), ICTP (Italy), IBS (South Korea), and Rutgers University (USA). As an active member of several international scientific organizations—AGU, EGU, AOGS, and ISNTD—she continues to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative approaches toward climate resilience, sustainability, and global health.
