Description:
Speaker biography: Kumar Roy is a PIMS Postdoctoral Fellow with Prof. Boualem Khouider at Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Victoria. His current research topic is in the area of climate change modelling focusing on Stochastic models for clouds and tropical convection parameterization. He completed his PhD degree in Meteorology and Oceanography from Andhra University, India in March 2022 and where he carried out research with the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune, India. His work focuses on the development and application of sub-grid scale cloud models in numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, as well as how these models affect the forecasting abilities of NWP models. Apart from his PhD work, he was also an active team member of the short-range ensemble prediction group IITM, Pune where he contributed in the model development for short range prediction of the Indian Monsoon. Kumar completed his Bachelor's degree in Physics (Hons) in 2013 from Burdwan University, India, and Masters in Physics in 2015 from Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT), Nagpur, India.
