About Me

I am a Geographical Information Science researcher specializing in spatial analysis, remote sensing, and environmental sustainability. My work integrates field-based research, household surveys, and satellite imagery analysis (using QGIS and Google Earth Engine) to address challenges in multi-hazard risk assessment, community resilience, and resource management.

Education

Master of Science in Geographical Information Science (Sept. 2026 – Sept. 2027 expected)

Bachelor's degree (Completed May 2026)

Research Projects

Multi-Hazard Risk and Vulnerability Assessment

Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, India

• Conducted a field-based multi-hazard assessment across 8–10 villages in Seismic Zone V, combining household surveys ($n=50$), satellite imagery analysis, and stakeholder interviews with district officials[cite: 1].
• Processed Landsat imagery in QGIS to generate LULC classification maps (2020–21 vs. 2024–25) and NDVI change-detection maps (2015 vs. 2024–25) to quantify vegetation decline linked to deforestation and climate stress[cite: 1].
• Found that 63% of surveyed households lacked reliable disaster early warning systems and 45% reported visible slope instability, aligning recommendations with NDMA and UNDRR Sendai Framework priorities[cite: 1].
• Produced an NDBI map (2025) to evaluate built-up area expansion for DDMA-level policy planning across landslide, GLOF, cloudburst, and forest fire zones[cite: 1].

Ecological Sustainability Assessment

Gokarna, Karnataka, India

• Designed and administered a mixed-methods survey across 6 thematic domains (agriculture, water quality, fishing, religious sites, coastal management, and women's safety) covering 80–100 respondents[cite: 1].
• Created a supervised LULC classification map of Gokarna (2025) using QGIS to identify land cover dynamics across coastal, agricultural, and built-up zones[cite: 1].
• Highlighted critical findings: 84.2% of fishers reported declining catches, 81.6% of farmers relied on borewell irrigation amidst a dropping water table, and a clear behavior-intention gap existed regarding coastal plastic waste[cite: 1].
