Hasan M. Abdullah's Site

Welcome (ようこそ) to the site!!!

 Hasan M. Abdullah specializes and is interested in agricultural remote/ proximal sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). He is serving as an Associate Professor at the Department of Agroforestry and Environment of the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU), Bangladesh. He is facilitating the GIS and Remote Sensing Laboratory, which is established and co-funded by BSMRAU and CIMMYT. He received his Ph.D. (2012) from Gifu University, Japan, with a Japanese government scholarship. His Ph.D. supervisor was Professor Yoshio Awaya. He obtained his MS (Forest and Woodland Management) from the same University in 2009. Emeritus Professor Tsuyoshi Akiyama supervised the research. Before continuing higher studies, he completed his BSc Ag (Hons) from Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU). His Ph.D. research theme was to investigate the Net Primary Productivity (NPP) of mountainous agricultural land in Takayama City, central Japan, using field sampling and high-resolution satellite imagery (QuickBird2 & WorldView2). He is a Norman E Borlaug international agricultural science and technology fellowship at Red River Research Station, Louisiana State University (funded by the USDA).

 Further, He is a Global Observations of Forest Cover and Land-use Dynamics (GOFC–GOLD) fellow of START Inc., sponsored by NASA. However, his research interest is multidisciplinary, encompassing the application of data science / extensive data/ machine learning in climate-compatible agriculture, sustainability, ecosystem service, natural resource management, environmental monitoring, and impact assessment utilizing satellite/ drone / unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) / unmanned aerial system (UAS) sensing and GIS. His research group uses hyperspectral and multispectral UAV sensors. Currently,  he is collaborating on several national and multinational research projects. Collaborative research with similar/ complementary interests is always welcome.
