I completed my PhD studies from School of Environment, Tsinghua University Beijing China in 2016. My PhD research was completed in four major parts. In the first part of the research, sensitivity experiments were conducted with different convection and land surface parameterization in the regional climate model (RegCM4.3) to figure-out the best suited combination over the South Asia region. In the second phase, the RegCM4.3 simulations were conducted with the best suited parameterization for climate change projections with much focus on the South Asian summer monsoon (SASM) variability under the IPCC AR5 scenarios. The computational work was completed on the Explorer 100 cluster system of Tsinghua University National Laboratory for Information Science and Technology (TNList). Furthermore, a bias correction approach was adopted to de-bias the outputs of RegCM4.3 for more accurate future climate change projections. Finally, the bias corrected output was used as input of Hydrologic Model to generate the streamflow response in the Northwestern Upper Indus Basin by the end of 21^st century under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. Currently, I am working as Assistant Professor at Department of Space Science, Institute of Space Technology Islamabad
