Fascinated by the mechanisms governing high-altitude hazards, I pursue research that bridges technological innovation with cryospheric science. My interdisciplinary journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Electronics and Communication, which equipped me with expertise in instrumentation and signal processing skills that later proved instrumental in developing field-based monitoring solutions. Recognizing the transformative potential of geospatial technologies, I further earned a Master’s of Science in Geoinformatics, where I discovered how remote sensing could address critical environmental challenges in spatially heterogeneous, data-scarce regions like the Himalaya.

I am currently a PhD candidate investigating glacial lake outburst floods through an integrated framework that combines remote sensing, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and field-based geophysical surveys. My research aims to unravel the complex glacier-lake-moraine interactions that govern differential GLOF risk in the Himalaya and to advance predictive modelling capabilities for mountain communities facing escalating climate-driven risks. 

Beyond advancing scientific understanding of glacial hazards, I am also committed to translating research insights into practical solutions. Leveraging my multidisciplinary background, I am focused on developing simplified, cost-effective sensor-based instrumentation for continuous high-altitude monitoring. With these technological interventions, my long-term goal is to enhance real-time data acquisition and strengthen early warning capabilities for vulnerable mountain communities to contribute towards achieving sustainable mountain resilience in the fragile Himalaya.
