Dr. Gurjeet Singh (M.Tech, Ph.D.)

Remote Sensing in Hydrology and Agriculture Laboratory  

Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA 

Dr. Gurjeet Singh is currently a Research Associate in the Remote Sensing in Hydrology and Agriculture Laboratory (RsHydroAg.Lab), Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA. Before joining the RsHydroAg.Lab, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, USA for a period of one year (2020-2021).

He received a Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering with a specialization in Water Resources Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar, India in 2020, the M.Tech. degree in Soil and Water Conservation Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, India in 2011, and the B.Tech. degree in Agricultural Engineering from Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, India in 2009.

Dr. Gurjeet Singh has been doing research in the field of Water Resources with a focus on Hydrology, Agriculture, and Remote sensing. He is focusing on in-situ measurements of hydro-meteorological variables, soil moisture sensor network design, validation of satellite-based products, microwave remote sensing for high-resolution soil moisture retrievals, and its use in various hydrological and agricultural applications.

Currently, he is focusing on ingesting remotely sensed geophysical and biophysical variables in an integrated hydrological and crop modeling system to improve the skills of nowcast and forecast the hydrologic state variables, drought indices, plant health, and crop yield.
