Biography
Reetik Kumar Sahu joined the Water Security Research Group of the IIASA Biodiversity and Natural Resources Program as a researcher in December 2020. His research focuses on the implementation of computational and numerical techniques to problems of hydro-economic modeling including machine learning, stochastic optimization and control, and multi-agent dynamic games. He is currently working on building additional capabilities for the IIASA large-scale hydro-economic modeling framework (ECHO). He is also part of a number of other international projects focused on water security assessment, the food-water-energy nexus, and future water risk reduction.Sahu obtained his PhD in Computational and Environmental Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA in 2018. Prior to joining IIASA, he was a postdoctoral research scholar at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA.
