Dilip Naidu works on interdisciplinary research on climate change, carbon, and urban ecosystems. Dilip started as a mechanical engineer and soon shifted his career, focusing on problems related to climate change, primarily on socio-ecological systems. His research involves applying data-driven approaches to understand how climate change influences the ecology of natural and urban ecosystems. At IIHS, Dilip works on carbon and water dynamics in semi-wild and managed ecosystems and carbon sequestration in urban green spaces.

 

During his PhD, he has worked on the influence of climate change on the ecology of the terrestrial carbon cycle and its consequences. He has presented his research at multiple international conferences – European Geophysical Union (EGU) in 2023 & 2024 and Nordic Society Oikos 2023. He has actively participated in meetings and Climate X Hackathons organized by the Global Alliance of Universities on Climate (GAUC) and Future Earth Asia.

 

Dilip has a PhD & MTech (Res) in climate change from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru. Dilip is a postdoctoral fellow with the IIHS School of Environment and Sustainability and the Geospatial Lab.
