Dr. Mohit P. Mohanty finished his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India in 2019 under the supervision of Prof. Subhankar Karmakar and Prof. Subimal Ghosh. His thesis entitled “A comprehensive mapping of flood risk in changing climate: An application to Jagatsinghpur District, Odisha” focussed on developing generic frameworks for estimating and mapping the current and future flood risk through a combination of statistical approaches and hydrodynamic flood modeling. During his Ph.D. research tenure, he was a part of two other urban flood related projects on (i) Near real time flood forecasting for Mumbai city and, (ii) Design of an Expert System for Flood Forecasting and Management for the city of Chennai.

His research expertise and interests include Design rainfall analysis, flood risk estimation and mapping, hydrodynamic flood hazard modelling, flood vulnerability mapping and geomorphic analysis for flood management.

Prior to this, he completed his Bachelors in Civil Engineering from the Institute of Technical Education and Research, India in 2011 and Masters in Environmental Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, India in 2014.

Dr. Mohanty is currently a Post-doctoral Fellow at FIDS working under Prof. Slobodan P. Simonovic. His research is focussed on evaluating the existing federal flood mapping guidelines and implementing appropriate flood-plain zoning over Canada using various publicly available data sets under various land-use and climate change scenarios.
