About me

I'm a Spatial Thinker! I have experience in a broad range of GIS applications that includes CVI mapping, island analysis, hotspot analysis, urban heat island studies, forest fire analysis, and spatial modeling. Understanding the Earth and its complex processes, with the help of remote sensing and field datasets, and providing GIS-based solutions for the betterment of the planet are what keeps me fascinated towards geospatial technology.

My research

I will be studying the plant-atmospheric interactions by analyzing data from an eddy covariance (EC) station in an agricultural area in the Adige Valley, Trento, Italy. The research aims to quantify the carbon and water budgets of Alpine ecosystems, addressing variability between sites and meteorological drivers' impacts. Results will inform global carbon budget assessments and improve agricultural water management in a changing climate.
