Dr. Mondal is also an associate faculty member in the Interdisciplinary Program in Climate Studies. Her research focuses on hydroclimatic extremes such as heat waves, floods and droughts – how they can be characterized, what causes them, and how they are likely to evolve with climate change. She uses a combination of statistical analysis, physical understanding and computer model simulations. Dr. Mondal serves as an Associate Editor of Earth’s Future, Journal of Hydrology and Hydrological Sciences Journal. She has been featured in the book ‘She Is: 75 Indian Women in STEAM’ by the Office of the Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India and the Red Dot Foundation. Dr. Mondal completed her PhD in Civil Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, when she had received the Endeavour Research Fellowship of the Government of Australia, the Fulbright-Nehru Research Fellowship of the United-States India Education Forum, and the Berkner Travel Grant of the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
