## About

I hold a Ph\.D\. in Forest Geoinformatics from the Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, where my research focused on carbon budget assessment integrating remote sensing with field data in Arunachal Pradesh\. I significantly contributed to the National Carbon Project \(ISRO\-IIRS\), analyzing carbon fluxes and leakages across Northeastern states\. I also played a role in developing India’s National Biodiversity Database, using GIS and remote sensing for landscape\-level ecological assessments\. With over 15 years of experience, my expertise lies in biomass and forest carbon assessment, biodiversity monitoring, remote sensing \(optical, UAV\), GIS\-based spatial analysis, and climate\-resilient land management\. I specialize in integrating geospatial technologies with field inventory for actionable insights in ecosystem dynamics, agriculture, and forestry\. My work encompasses digital image processing, crop modeling and precision agriculture solutions\. I have led geospatial conservation planning projects, including the demarcation of Eco\-sensitive Zones in the Western Himalayas and climate vulnerability assessments in Arunachal Pradesh\. Internationally, I contributed to a World Bank\-funded deforestation monitoring project in Madagascar, and supported forestry data generation for Irkutsk and Karelia, Russia\. My biodiversity work includes modeling climate\-induced habitat shifts in the Darjeeling Himalayas for endemic and invasive species\. In agriculture, I’ve supported crop health and yield projects with BISA, PMFBY, Cargill, Olam, Monsanto, and Indian financial institutions\. I have led the development of AgTech platforms integrating satellite data, soil analytics, and weather forecasts to deliver parcel\-level, dynamic crop advisories\. My holistic approach blends field science, spatial technology, and AI/ML analytics to support climate\-resilient decision\-making across sectors like forestry, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable agriculture\.
