Divya Pragna MULLA
@divyapragnamulla
Environmental Data Analyst and PhD researcher delivering data-driven air quality and pollution modelling.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Environmental Data Analyst and PhD researcher with 5+ years delivering data-driven environmental assessments across air quality, pollution modelling, wetland ecosystems, and public health impact—the core deliverables of environmental consultancy. I’ve worked across multi-agency, multidisciplinary projects (EU-funded, WHO, IoT deployments), turning complex datasets into analysis that informs regulatory and policy decisions, as well as client-facing outputs.
My technical edge is applied modelling and data governance: I build Python/ML pipelines (from exploratory analysis to time-series and health-risk modelling), integrate multi-source datasets (FluxNet, NASA, ERA5), and convert records into FAIR-ready structures for cross-partner collaboration. I’m currently leading end-to-end ecological data processing and developing process-based monitoring models, and I’ve delivered forecasting and health-impact work through LSTM PM2.5 models and WHO AirQ+ framework extensions—now seeking an environmental data analyst or consultant role in the UK where technical depth creates measurable outcomes for clients.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Environmental Data Analyst
University of Salento
Mar 2024 - Mar 2026 (2 years)
Led end-to-end data pipelines integrating multi-source ecological datasets (~50k+ records) across 10 wetland monitoring sites, building a deployable monitoring framework for ecosystem transitions under climate stress. Managed FAIR data compliance across 3 partner institutions and standardized ingestion workflows to reduce preprocessing overhead.
PhD Researcher - Data Analysis
University of Salento
