Research Statement

My goal is to develop solutions that enhance societal resilience against natural hazards. I use a combination of artificial intelligence, satellite imagery and physics based models to ascertain the drivers of natural hazards and devise preventive measures. I have developed mutiple automated and easy to use tools for floods and landslides namely ILSM, DeepSARFLOOD, ML-CASCADE, and ILCD. More about my work can be read here
