Hi there 👋

🔭 Pursuing PhD at UNSW, Sydney

Research Experience

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), May 2024 - till date

Masters of Technology (MTech.), Sep. 2021 - Aug. 2023

Thesis title: Development and evaluation of a generalized algorithm for aerosol optical depth (AOD) retrieval over land surfaces using at-sensor signal.

Junior Research Fellow, Dec. 2020 - June 2021

Project title: Modelling Urban Sprawl Dynamics of Howrah-Kolkata Urban Agglomeration by Semi-Automated Impervious Feature Extraction Techniques Using Multi-Sensor Remotely Sensed Data.
Investigated the pattern, type and extent of urban growth at the block level in Kolkata Metropolitan region.

Senior Research Fellow, Dec. 2019 – Dec. 2020

Project title: Modeling Runoff variability and predicted runoff condition of a semi-gauged river basin of Tropical India as a response to climate change and transformed Landuse Landcover (LULC).
Predicted the runoff responses in future based on predicted climate and various land use land change scenarios.

Junior Research Fellow, Dec. 2017 – Dec. 2019

Project title: Modeling Runoff variability and predicted runoff condition of a semi-gauged river basin of Tropical India as a response to climate change and transformed Landuse Landcover (LULC).
Analyzed the past changes in climate and land use land cover and tracked its impact on the runoff response of the basin.

Bachelor of Technology, Aug. 2016 – Apr. 2017

Thesis title: Site Suitability and Selection for Solid Waste Management of Haldia Development Authority (HDA) region.
Identified potential sites for disposal of solid wastes in Haldia Development Authority region.

A python package to cross calibrate ResourceSat 2 sensors like LISS III, AWiFS or LISS IV.

data_helpers

Just a list of python functions to help with common data processing.

extract_aeronet_aod

This python module downloads the AERONET AOD data and the reflectance data from GEE for a given time period and a given bounding box.

extract_gee_lulc

This python module extracts land use land cover (LULC) type using Copernicus or MODIS LULC products.
