Summary of Research
Prani Nalluri (they/them) is a PhD student in Applied Mathematics at Columbia University. Their primary interest is in using machine learning to improve computational models of oceanographic systems. More specifically, they intend to do so by improving parameterizations of turbulent processes at submeso- and meso-scales in the ocean. Currently, they are working on a project that uses machine learning to parametrize the effect of small-scale air-sea interactions on large-scale ocean dynamics.Nalluri works with climate scientists and oceanographers across the northeast. The primary way they do so is by splitting their time between Columbia and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. They also are a part of M2LInES (Multiscale Machine Learning In Coupled Earth System Modeling) and LEAP (Learning the Earth with Artificial Intelligence and Physics), both of which conduct research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and earth system modeling.
Before attending Columbia University, Nalluri graduated with honors from Rice University with a Bachelor in Arts in Computational Applied Mathematics.
