Biography
I obtained my Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS). I have been in the field of geoinformatics for more than ten years and have experience with several reputed institutes such as the Forest Survey of India (FSI) and the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC). I have worked in several national and international level projects, for example on landscape dynamics and its impact on ecosystem composition, biodiversity characterization at the landscape level and the Natural Resources Census (NRCENSUS). My research interests include advances in remote sensing, geospatial modelling for issues relevant to sustainable development, data interoperability, ecological modelling and climate change. I am also involved in teaching geoinformatics for wildlife management.
