About Me
Geographer with a strong academic background in Geographic Information System (GIS). With Master’s degree in Geography followed by a PhD in Cartography and GIS (2021), I have earned expertise in disaster risk analysis and remote sensing data (mostly optical) applications in DRR. My research projects have focused on utilizing GIS approaches in land use change and Disaster Risk Analysis. Transitioning into the professional career, I have worked as a GIS expert as well as DRR specialist in various national and international projects.
