Hi. I am pursuing Ph.D. in spatial data science at IIIT, Bangalore. I have received M.Tech. Degree in Geoinformatics from Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) in 2016 and B.Tech in Civil Engineering (2009) from Government College of Engineering, Kannur.

My contribution was an integral part of shoreline prediction model in Mangalore region during my thesis. I have research experience in National Institute of Technology (NIT) Calicut, CSIR Centre for Mathematical Modelling & Computer Simulation; Karnataka State Remote Sensing Applications Centre (KSRSAC) Bangalore, and Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC) Bangalore.

I have worked on various geospatial projects such as climate change and its impact studies and coastal zone management, multi-modal Vegetation Index analysis, Field Margin Vegetation mapping and urban studies.   

I received UGIT Young Technologist Award in 2015, University Honour in 2014-2016 batch, and authored three journal papers and six international conference papers.

My research interest includes Machine Learning, Remote Sensing and GIS, Digital Image Processing, Urban-Informatics, Urban Sprawl: pattern recognition and modelling, Environmental and Natural Resource Management, Multi-source and multi-format data handling. I aspire to take on more challenging research problems in the future and strengthen my career as Geospatial Data Scientist. 

On top of that, my hobby is dancing and I am a 3rd-year student at Sreejaya’s School of Classical Dance.  Other than dancing, I like cooking and experimenting with new recipes for my family and friends.
