Hoshin Gupta

Hoshin Gupta is Regents Professor of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences at The University of Arizona. He received his BS in Civil Engineering from IIT Bombay, and MS and PhD degrees in Systems Engineering from Case Western Reserve University. His broad interest is in how “Learning” and “Reasoning” happen through the development and use of “Models”, and more specifically in how to combine Physics-Based Knowledge with Machine Learning (via Information Theory) for developing Earth & Environmental Systems Models that can progressively learn from interactions with the environment)

In 2017 and 2018, Hoshin was ranked in the top 1% on the Clarivate “Highly Cited Researchers List” for Environment/Ecology, and he is currently ranked 19 th in the Stanford ScholarGPS “Highly Ranked Scholars List” for Water Resources. He is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society, recipient of AMS’s RE Horton Lecture Award (2017) and EGU’s Dalton Medal (2014), and has served as an Editor of Water Resources Research (2009-2013).

Hoshin teaches an introductory class on “The Bare Minimum” one needs to know about the physics-based approach to Environmental Systems modeling, and an advanced-elective class on “How We Learn From Data” that integrates relevant concepts from Statistics, Information-theory, Machine-learning, Deep-learning, and Physics-based model development.
