About
“A good cartographer is both a scientist and an artist.”
I hold a Ph.D. in Natural Resources and Sustainable Development from the Amity School of Natural Resources and Sustainable Development (ASNRSD), Amity University, Noida, India. My doctoral research focused on the application of geospatial technologies for environmental conservation, natural resource management and sustainable development, integrating scientific precision with innovative analytical approaches.
I also hold a postgraduate degree in GIS and Remote Sensing from the Amity Institute of Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing (AIGIRS), Amity University, Noida, India, where I built a strong foundation in geospatial analysis, remote sensing techniques, and environmental modeling.
Currently, I am working as a Senior Research Associate at the Ganga Aqualife Conservation Monitoring Centre, Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, where I contribute to initiatives focused on the conservation and rejuvenation of the Ganga River basin and its sub-basins.
My expertise encompasses a wide range of GIS and Remote Sensing applications, including spatial analysis, digitization, aquatic biodiversity assessment, species distribution modeling, hydrological and watershed modeling, urban climate change studies, land-use/land-cover change analysis, and wetland assessment. I am also experienced in Web-GIS development and the deployment of geospatial tools for environmental monitoring, resource management, and conservation planning.
Technically, I am proficient in ArcGIS, ArcGIS Pro, ERDAS Imagine, QGIS, ENVI, Google Earth Pro, Google Earth Engine, and MaxEnt (for species distribution modeling). My additional skills include GPS systems, Google My Maps, Microsoft Office, HTML, CSS, and C++, enabling me to merge scientific insight with technological expertise to address complex environmental challenges.
