Welcome to my digital sphere!
I am a researcher deeply rooted in the intersection of spatial data analytics, demographic studies, and human-environment interactions. I believe that human systems and the environment are inseparable, constantly influencing one another in dynamic ways. My work leverages advanced tools like remote sensing, GIS, and spatial data to explore these complex relationships, providing insights into how demographic trends are shaped by environmental and spatial factors.
I am an assistant professor at the Centre for Research on Social Inequalities (CRIS) at Sciences Po, Paris. Prior to this, I worked as a Research Scientist (consultant) on NASA and USGS-funded projects at the University of Minnesota. I spent three years as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institut National d'Études Démographiques (INED) in Paris. I hold a Ph.D., M.Phil., and M.P.S. in Population Studies from the International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS), Mumbai, and an M.Sc. in Geography from the M.S. University of Baroda. I also serve as the Chair of the Early Career Panel at IUSSP, dedicated to promoting scientific activities for young researchers worldwide.
