Ms Nidhi Nishant

Research Associate
Science
Climate Change Research Centre

Nidhi is researcher in atmospheric sciences. She completed her PhD in 2018 and worked with NSW Government for the last four years. Nidhi’s expertise lies in regional climate modelling, atmospheric convection, climate extremes and aerosol-cloud interaction. In her new role at CLEX, she is working on machine learning techniques to improve the representation of precipitation extremes and convective processes in climate models
