"I am a PhD scholar using machine learning and remote sensing to study glacier dynamics and their impact on water resources."

"My lived experience has shown me the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing climate-driven Glacier and water challenges."

"I am committed to leveraging AI and geospatial analysis for analysis of Glacier Dynamics which will further contribute in sustainable water management, disaster risk reduction, and equitable access to freshwater in vulnerable regions."

Water Experience

I am a PhD scholar specializing in the application of machine learning for studying glacier dynamics using remote sensing data. My research focuses on analyzing glacier facies, ice mass balance, and the impacts of climate change on water resources. By integrating satellite imagery, AI models, and geospatial techniques, I contribute to understanding glacial melt patterns and their influence on freshwater availability. Climate change demands action from diverse fields, and I am eager to collaborate across disciplines to develop innovative, data-driven solutions. My work supports disaster risk reduction and sustainable water management, ensuring equitable access and resilience in vulnerable regions.
