Dr. Manoj M.G. obtained his PhD in Atmospheric and Space Science from Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM, University of Pune) in 2012. Followed by a stint in IITM as Project Scientist, he moved on to the Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center (ESSIC), University of Maryland, USA for the post-doctoral research where his focus was on the intricate research problem of aerosol radiative effects on monsoon and deep convection. Having completed the tenure, Dr. Manoj joined the Advanced Centre for Atmospheric Radar Research (ACARR), Cochin University of Science and Technology as Research Scientist in 2015. He is presently working as Scientist – D at ACARR, CUSAT. Besides research, he is also engaged in regular teaching in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, CUSAT and acting in the capacity as Academic Coordinator of ACARR.

Dr. Manoj leads a dedicated research group on Atmospheric Processes Studies (APS) at ACARR, CUSAT. The APS Group focusses on basic research related to the tropical atmospheric processes of varying spatio-temporal scales leading to improved understanding of the weather and climate. Various in-situ and remote sensing observational platforms together with atmospheric models of medium complexity are the backbone of data-driven research. The team consists of young, vibrant researchers including PhD students, Post-Doctoral Fellows and Internship students of Master Programs.
