Biography
A D Rao is a Professor at the Centre for Atmospheric Sciences, IIT Delhi. He received his PhD from IIT Delhi in 1982 in physical oceanography. His research interests include development of numerical models for storm surges, internal waves, ocean state forecast, air-sea interaction processes. He has also developed finite-element based models to compute coastal inundation and associated water levels due to storm surges. His contribution to the surge prediction system is very significant as the inland intrusion of surge waters is the main cause for extensive damage along the coast. He has published more than 180 papers in various national and international journals. A D Rao is a Professor at the Centre for Atmospheric Sciences, IIT Delhi.
