Himanshu Pathak
PhD Student
Himanshu is a PhD student at the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability, and is supervised by Prof. Navin Ramankutty. His research is aimed at developing a deeper understanding of the mechanisms and processes through which climatic parameters affect crop yields. This is critical for accurately estimating the impacts of climate change on agriculture and in identifying suitable adaptation strategy specific to different crops and regions. He is also interested in examining how successful strategies can be transferred and implemented in other regions facing similar climate challenges.
Prior to joining IRES, Himanshu completed his MSc in climate change and sustainability studies from Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS). He has more than seven years of research experience. He worked as a program manager in the south Asia office of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), based in New Delhi. His work at IFPRI focused on analysing the shifting trends of agricultural public expenditure in India and its impact on a range of outcome indicators—diversification, wages, farm incomes, and poverty. He also managed a project on upscaling climate-smart agriculture (CSA) technologies in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) group of countries.
In his previous avatar, Himanshu was a mining engineer, working in a coal mine in Chhattisgarh in central India. When not working, he is found running on the trails, hooked up to a podcast, or reading a book.
