Abhinav is a PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering, and also a fellow of the Tata Center for Technology and Design at MIT . He received his Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in the same field from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. He was a recipient of the S.N. Bose Scholarship, offered to select undergraduates to perform research in the United States. Pursuant to the scholarship and a follow-up internship, he worked in the MSEAS lab itself for two consecutive summers. Abhinav is currently working on developing state-of-the-art, uncertainty quantification, data assimilation and optimal sampling methods. Apart from research, his hobbies include playing badminton, and cooking Indian food. He is currently working on:

• Coastal forecasting for a sustainable fisheries management system in India
