I am a NASA-funded Postdoctoral Researcher at Texas State University, working on a project titled "Decoding Land Transitions Across the Urban-Rural Continuums (URC): A Synthesis Study of Patterns, Drivers, and Socio-Environmental Impacts in Southeast Asia." My research focuses on leveraging AI, big geospatial data, and environmental modeling to assess landscape sustainability and resilience in response to climate extremes and environmental challenges. 

Previously, I held another NASA-funded postdoctoral position at Arizona State University (2020–2023), where I examined the trade-offs between urban heat mitigation, water conservation, and environmental justice using machine learning and remote sensing technologies. 

I’ve led and contributed to multiple research projects and have published in top journals, including Environmental Science & Technology, AGU Advances, Journal of Environmental Management, Forest Ecology and Management, Environmental Research Letters, Ecological Informatics, IEEE JSTARS, and Science of the Total Environment.

I currently serve as a Guest Editor for Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, and an active peer reviewer for a wide range of leading journals, including Water Research; Water Resources Research; Geophysical Research Letters; AGU Advances; Agricultural and Forest Meteorology; IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing; GIScience & Remote Sensing; IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing (JSTARS); Forest Ecology and Management; Ecological Processes; Ecological Informatics; Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation; International Journal of Remote Sensing; and others.
