Senior🎓
Top SchoolJaya Pudashine is a Precipitation Nowcast Scientist based in Melbourne with nine years’ experience at the intersection of radar nowcasting, opportunistic rainfall sensing, and hydrological/hydraulic modelling. Currently at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, she develops near‑term precipitation forecasts and applies 1D/2D flood models to inform hazard mapping and risk assessments. Her PhD work at Monash improved rainfall measurement using mobile phone tower links, a novel opportunistic sensing approach that underpins her practical blend of research and operational forecasting. Prior roles across academic and international institutes have seen her deliver hydrodynamic modelling, capacity building, and decision-support tools for water-scarce regions in Southeast Asia. Known for translating advanced measurement techniques into actionable flood risk products, she bridges scientific innovation with real-world impact for emergency management and water resources.
