Assist Prof. Dr. Ruchi singh Parihar | Biostatistics and Epidemiology | Best Researcher Award

Christ University | India

Assist Prof. Dr. Ruchi Singh Parihar is a distinguished climate scientist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics and Data Science at CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bangalore, whose research embodies a unique integration of climate science, epidemiology, and data-driven modeling. With a Ph.D. in Climate Change and Health jointly awarded by IIT Delhi and Graphic Era University, her scholarly journey reflects a deep commitment to understanding the nexus between climate variability, disease transmission, and human health. Dr. Parihar’s expertise spans climate and atmospheric modeling, remote sensing, GIS applications, numerical simulations, and environmental health risk assessment, focusing particularly on vector-borne diseases such as malaria. Her according to Scopus includes more than 36 peer-reviewed publications, accumulating over 30 citations and an h-index of 3, with studies featured in prestigious journals such as Nature Scientific Reports, GeoHealth, and the International Journal of Biometeorology. She has held research and visiting positions at globally renowned institutions, including the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), South Korea, and the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Italy, where she continues as an Associate. Recognized with several international Travel and Research Grants from organizations like NSF (USA), UNESCO/IAEA, and Rutgers University, Dr. Parihar actively contributes to international scientific dialogues on climate and health through presentations at major conferences including AGU, EGU, and Gordon Research Conferences. Her memberships in leading professional societies such as AGU, EGU, AOGS, ISNTD, and AWIS highlight her active role in advancing collaborative global science. Dr. Parihar’s pioneering contributions lie in her ability to combine statistical modeling, climate projections, and epidemiological simulations to forecast disease transmission patterns under future climate scenarios, thereby influencing both academic research and public health policy on a global scale.
