Rohini Kumar

Dr. Rohini Kumar is a Researcher at the Department of Computational Hydrosystems within the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ in Leipzig, Germany. He has been affiliated with this institution since 2010, focusing on advanced hydrological modeling and climate change impact assessments.

• Education: PhD from University of Jena (2010), Master of Technology from IIT Kharagpur (2006), Bachelor of Technology from Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University (2004).
• Collaborations: Involved in international projects like 4DHydro, GRIP-E, XEROS, and GlobeWQ. Works with institutions such as Purdue University and GIZ.

Research Focus: Rohini's work centers on multiscale hydrological modeling (e.g., mHM and mQM models) to address water and solute transport, drought/flood prediction, PUB (Prediction in Ungauged Basins), water-food-energy nexus analysis, and climate change scenarios. He also explores machine learning integration for hydrological inference and uncertainty quantification in water resource management.

Recent Publications: His publications (2024–2018) emphasize drought and flood modeling, nutrient export dynamics, groundwater response to warming, and climate-demographic interactions. Key projects include Resilient 0-Pollution Wastewater Systems, WatQual-Fish, and MM4Sevan.

Projects: Currently leads initiatives such as Resilient 0-Pollution Wastewater Systems (Saxony), WatQual-Fish (CASUS), and MM4Sevan (GIZ). Previously contributed to Global Water Quality (BMBF), XEROS (DFG/GACR), and EDgE (Copernicus C3S).
