معرفی
Dr. Pramitha M. is an Assistant Professor Grade I at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Thiruvananthapuram (IISER Trivandrum), specializing in Earth, Environmental and Sustainability Sciences. She is a DST-INSPIRE Faculty Fellow and has conducted extensive research on atmospheric gravity waves, their source mechanisms, and their influence on global atmospheric circulations such as the Brewer-Dobson Circulation and Quasi-Biennial Oscillation. Her work bridges observational data with numerical modeling to advance understanding of middle atmospheric dynamics and climate change impacts.
- PhD in Physics (2016), National Atmospheric Research Laboratory, Gadanki
- MSc in Physics (2011), Calicut University
- BSc in Physics (2009), Govt. Arts & Science College, Calicut
Dr. Pramitha's research focuses on resolving small-scale atmospheric phenomena in global models, particularly atmospheric gravity waves and their interactions with large-scale circulations like the Brewer-Dobson Circulation (stratosphere), Pole-to-Pole circulation (mesosphere), Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO), Semi-annual Oscillation (SAO), and Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW). She also investigates middle atmospheric chemistry, radiative transfer, tropical tropopause dynamics, and cloud dynamics. Her publications demonstrate expertise in ray tracing techniques, meteor radar observations, and model comparisons across diverse atmospheric regions.
She has received prestigious fellowships including the DST-INSPIRE Faculty Fellowship (2021), National Post Doctoral Fellowship (2017), and research fellowships from Space Physics Laboratory (2019) and National Atmospheric Research Laboratory (2011). She was awarded Best Paper Awards at National Space Science Symposia (2014, 2016) and an International Travel Grant from CSIR (2016). Dr. Pramitha serves as a reviewer for top journals like Journal of Geophysical Research and Geophysical Research Letters, and has participated in international conferences in Japan, Australia, and Germany.
