Senior🎓
Top SchoolPratiman Patel is a Senior Research Scientist based in Singapore with eight years of experience bridging urban land-surface science and numerical weather prediction. He leads development of the MORUSES urban canopy scheme for the Singapore adaptation of the UK Met Office Unified Model as part of the multi-institutional Cooling Singapore 2.0 programme, and previously developed near-real-time flood forecasting approaches using local climate zones in WRF during his PhD. A recipient of India’s Overseas Visiting Doctoral Fellowship, he spent a year at Purdue University and brings strong remote sensing and hydrology grounding from IIT Bombay and ISRO’s IIRS. Beyond modeling, he contributes to open-source scientific tooling—enhancing proplot’s plotting capabilities for publication-quality figures—reflecting a mix of hands-on coding and atmospheric science. His work uniquely combines urban microclimate parameterization, operational forecasting, and reproducible visualization to inform climate-sensitive urban planning.
