Pallavi Jangra-PhD Scholar
Pallavi completed her BS-MS dual degree in Mathematics from IISER Mohali in 2015. She joined the group as a PhD student in June 2015. 
Her research interests are focused on applications of mathematical models in Atmospheric Sciences. She has also worked on source apportionment studies meant to investigate the major sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) measured at IISER- Mohali.
