Publication Profile
πEducation
Arathi Rameshan is currently pursuing a PhD at Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main, focusing on climate science. She completed her BS-MS dual degree in Earth and Environmental Sciences from IISER Bhopal (2016-2021). Her masterβs thesis investigated post-monsoon tropical cyclone variability over the Bay of Bengal. She completed her higher secondary education at CGHSS St. Clareβs, Thrissur, Kerala (2016), and her high school education at AVS Govt. Higher Secondary School, Karivellur, Kerala (2014). Her strong academic foundation in environmental sciences and climate studies has paved the way for her advanced research in atmospheric processes.
πΌExperience
Arathi is a PhD researcher at Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University Frankfurt, working on elevation-dependent climate change in the Third Pole (2022-present). She conducted her masterβs research at IISER Bhopal, analyzing post-monsoon tropical cyclone variability (2020-2021). She interned at the Central University of Kerala, performing a temporal analysis of vegetation changes using remote sensing (2019). Her internship at the Centre for Human Genetics (2018) focused on mutational analysis, and at Cochin University of Science and Technology (2017), she studied gravity theories. She has also participated in geological and environmental field studies, enhancing her expertise in field data collection and analysis.
πAwards and Honors
Arathi has received the INSPIRE Scholarship from the Government of India (top 1% among 0.5 million students, 2016-2021). She presented her research at the CLM-Community Assembly in Belgium (2023) and the Elevation-Dependent Climate Change Workshop in Austria (2022). She was an institute nominee for Girl βSTEM STARsβ of India (2021) and participated in the IISER Bhopal Annual EES poster presentation (2021). She is a member of Kerala Sasthra Sahithya Parishad (Peopleβs Science Movement of Kerala) and has engaged in UNFCCCβs Green Revolution Global Program (2018). She was also a student member of the Indian Science Congress (2016-2017) and participated in Keralaβs state-level science congresses.
π¬Research Focus
Arathiβs research focuses on atmospheric and climate sciences, particularly elevation-dependent climate change in the Third Pole. She examines climate variability using reanalysis datasets and climate models. Her masterβs research explored post-monsoon tropical cyclone variability over the Bay of Bengal. She has worked on remote sensing-based vegetation analysis and GIS applications for climate and environmental studies. Her expertise includes climate modeling, meteorological data analysis, and environmental monitoring techniques. She actively contributes to understanding global climate dynamics, focusing on the interactions between atmospheric processes and regional climate change.
Conclusion
Arathi Rameshan is a highly promising candidate for the Young Scientist Award due to her strong academic foundation, international research experience, technical expertise, and impactful publications. While she can enhance her profile with more leadership roles, independent research grants, and outreach activities, her current achievements already position her as a strong contender for this recognition.
