Remote Sensing and Geospatial Data Analytics
Toledo, OH
I am a geospatial professional with 3+ years of experience in solving diverse sets of problems. Currently, I work as a Research Scientist, specializing in data science applications for remote sensing. In my day today, I develop statistical models for tree species classification, use Py6S for radiation calibration or perform a literature review on GHG emissions, to name a few. I have held various geospatial data-centric positions where my responsibilities varied from physical data collection to curation to modeling.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
RESEARCH SCIENTIST 1
Piloted development of Utility Vegetation Management System by identifying individual tree risks using stereo data
Calculated surface reflectance from top of atmosphere values using ACOLITE for various sensors within 3% error
Detected CO2 emissions from natural gas and mineral plants using hyperspectral data within 450PPM error
PROJECT SCIENTIST, R&D
Collaborated with experts from 4 organizations for onsite spectral and physical data collection over Lake Okeechobee, FL.
Quantified Nitrogen and Phosphorus concentration in Water and Soil using high spatial and spectral resolution data.
Estimated methane concentration from super GHG emitters using Landsat8 and Sentinel data.
GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANT
Developing socioeconomic indexes to measure civil and human rights status for World countries.
Designing a web map dashboard for National Centre for Civil and Human Rights, Atlanta, as a part of public engagement.
GEO SPATIAL INTERN
Delhi Slum Maps- Quantified housing situation of lower-income groups in Delhi by generating slum footprints. Established that only 0.6 % of land area caters to 11-30% of the city population.
Tacit Urban Research Network- Explored navigation practices used by the residents in a dense auto construct settlement. Evaluated how formal urban planning practices fail to explain tacit embedded in such practices.
INTERN
Created Network datasets of countrywide railway lines for testing network analogies.
Developed delivery network for fertilizer delivery with assigned payloads.
REMOTE SENSING INTERN
Conducted various raster calculations for calculating farmpond location.
Generated thematic maps for representing various factors associated with the calculations.
