Renji Remesan is an assistant professor in water resources management and has over 10 years’ teaching, research and outreach experience. His research focusses on studies of hydrological processes and understanding the effects of interactions between water, atmosphere and landscape under current and future climate/land use conditions. He has work experiences with different UK universities (University of Bristol, University of Hull, Cranfield University and Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Wallingford) on different projects relating to water and land resources.  He has several quality publications in peer-reviewed, international journals and been part of some funded research projects.
