Research and Teaching Interests
As a forward-thinking early career research professional, I study the effects of climate change on water resources and develop sustainable strategies to prevent environmental contamination from hazardous pollutants. As a GIS professional, I assist in bridge technology, geosciences, and geospatial data analysis to inform decision-making across diverse fields. I am dedicated to developing skills for designing and implementing real-world applications and gaining hands-on experience with widely used GIS software such as ArcGIS, ArcGIS Pro, GeoDA, ENVI, etc. My strong interest in applying machine learning using Python, R, and Google Earth Engine further demonstrates my research commitment to earth and environmental geosciences. As a teaching assistant, I assist undergraduate students in solving their relevant lab exercises/problems in Environmental Geology and Dynamic Earth. I also happily mentor incoming students in person and virtually.
