Dr. Amulya Chevuturi

Amulya Chevuturi is a Senior Hydroclimate Scientist at UKCEH, Wallingford with expertise in advancing understanding of hydroclimate extremes, from past patterns to future risk for hazard readiness and climate resilience. She leads multiple scientific initiatives across key projects at UKCEH; global hydrological forecast integration (NC International Programme) and research on UK hydrological extremes (CANARI and Co-Centre for Climate+).

Prior to her current role, she served as a post-doctoral Research Associate at NCAS, University of Reading, where she was extensively involved in diverse projects, with a primary focus on forecasting floods and droughts, monsoon dynamics and onset, tropical precipitation predictions, the spatial and temporal variations of precipitation, the hydrological cycle, and climate change impacts. During her PhD studies, she conducted simulations and analyses of extreme precipitation events in India, encompassing phenomena such as western disturbances, cloudbursts, and hailstorms, which can result in secondary consequences like flash floods.

Amulya has an impressive publication record, with 14 first-author peer-reviewed papers, 17 co-author peer-reviewed publications, 2 first-author edited book chapters, 1 co-author book publication, and multiple policy-relevant reports. She has cultivated and maintains extensive network of collaborations with scientists from around the world and regularly engages with diverse set of stakeholders. In addition to her research, Amulya has engaged with the media to disseminate her findings and possesses teaching experience in computing and climate sciences, with a track record of supervising summer interns and master's and bachelor's student dissertations.
