I am a Geospatial Data Scientist and Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST) fellow. I utilize statistical and machine learning-based methods to extract insights from remote sensing data. I construct pipelines that deliver metrics from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and other satellite imagery. Additionally, I utilize causal inference to assess the impact of climate and human-induced changes on agriculture and natural resources. My objective is to assist decision-makers and the scientific community in formulating informed policies pertaining to natural resource management particularly for vulnerable communities affected by climate change and related food security concerns.
