About MIR Lab
Research scope and approach
MIR Lab is an interdisciplinary research group at IIT Gandhinagar studying climate hazards and their effects on interconnected urban, ecological, and infrastructure systems. The group integrates hydrology, climate science, network science, remote sensing, and physics-informed machine learning. Its work spans fundamental methods, empirical analysis, and decision-support applications developed with public agencies.
Methods and models
Develop models that combine physical constraints, observational data, uncertainty quantification, and network analysis.
Decision-support applications
Apply research through forecasts, scenarios, and planning tools for preparedness and response.
