Husnain Asif is currently pursuing a PhD at the FSES ANU under the supervision of Dr. Sarah Kirkpatrick. His research focuses on the convergence of artificial intelligence with climate change and extreme weather events. Husnain employs advanced AI techniques, including Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Super-Resolution GANs (SRGANs), Diffusion models, and Diffusion-GAN methods, to perform downscaling on datasets specific to Southeast Australia. The primary goal of his work is to improve the resolution and predictive accuracy of climate models, making them more useful for applications such as agricultural forecasting and climate resilience planning.

Looking ahead, Husnain's future research will explore the potential of large language models (LLMs) to analyze and contextualize historical events by correlating regional and global news with scientific literature. This approach aims to enhance the recommendations provided by LLMs in data analysis, forecasting, and anomaly detection. By doing so, Husnain's work will inform decision-making in various sectors, including agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and climate change adaptation and mitigation. His interdisciplinary approach aims to contribute significantly to the development of robust and actionable insights for managing and mitigating the impacts of climate change.
