Welcome to my website. 

I am currently a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Georgia's Skidaway Institute of Oceanography. My present work focuses on evaluating the accuracy of SeaHawk/HawkEye remote sensing data and derived products. obtained my Ph.D. from the Center of Studies in Resources Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India. During my Ph.D.  i worked on the retrieval of Inherent Optical Properties from deep and shallow water remote sensing data using semi - analytical algorithms. I conducted field sampling for water quality at Mumbai coastal waters and Ujani Reservoir of Maharashtra, India. I am one of the 21 students selected for training at 2018 IOCCG summer lecture series held at Observatoire Océanologique de Villefranche (OOV), Villefranche - sur - Mer, France. My research interests include water quality parameter retrieval from satellite imagery, Hyperspectral remote sensing, Machine Learning and optimization algorithms.
