Rohan Choudhary studied at the Indian Institute of Technology Patna in India when he joined CCIR. He has received recognition in several academic and sustainability initiatives. These include being named an International Finalist by the American University in Cairo’s Centre for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. He was also a finalist in the Ernst & Young Scholarship Programme and the UNICEF and UNDP India Young Scholar Award for Sustainability Research. In addition, he participated in the Election Commission of India’s Electhon. There, he helped develop technological and social interventions to strengthen India’s electoral processes.
At the CCIR Academy, Rohan’s research paper, Evolving Extremes: Projections of Heatwave Characteristics in Pre-Monsoon India, was accepted at the 7th International Conference on Advanced Research Methods and Analytics (CARMA 2025). The conference took place at Roma Tre University in Italy. His research examines how heatwave characteristics in India may change during the pre-monsoon period. It also contributes to our understanding of how extreme heat may evolve as the climate changes.
CARMA is an international forum focused on advanced analytical methods and the use of the Internet and Big Data in economics and the social sciences. Researchers and professionals gather at the conference to share new methods and findings. They also explore how analytical approaches can be applied across different fields.
Congratulations to Rohan on this achievement!
