Arpan Sharma

About

Dr. Arpan Sharma (Kaudinya Arpan) is an interdisciplinary researcher in environmental science, climate change, and developmental aspects of these areas, with expertise in geospatial analytics, remote sensing, and artificial intelligence. His work focuses on climate risk assessment, healthcare resilience, and sustainable resource management in data-sparse and ecologically fragile regions. He has led projects supported by the European Space Agency, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Indian Council of Medical Research, with publications in journals such as Nature and The Lancet family. Alongside empirical modeling, he engages with Indian Knowledge Systems to build integrative approaches to sustainability and pedagogy. His broader aim is to bridge scientific research, policy, and community action for climate adaptation and inclusive development.
