Research summary
AI-generated

Venkatesh Merwade's research focuses on hydrology, the study of water movement and distribution, particularly flood risk assessment, river and watershed modeling, and flood inundation prediction. Recent work also incorporates computational and data-driven modeling tools, including open-source software platforms and AI-based methods, for simulating hydrological systems and predicting river flow in areas lacking direct measurement stations (ungauged basins). Students would likely encounter a mix of traditional hydraulic/hydrologic modeling and emerging computational and AI-assisted research tools.
