Hello! I'm Hiren
I work as a Ph.D. student at IIT Gandhinagar under the direction of Dr. Vimal Mishra in the field of climate change. My study primarily focuses on the broad topic of mitigation and adaptation to climate change. Exploring machine learning applications in remote sensing and hydrological modelling interests me. In my free time, I enjoy experimenting with fonts, colors, and shapes.
