Profile
I completed my undergraduate studies in Nepal before moving to the UK to pursue a double master's degree in Sustainable Tropical Forestry (SUTROFOR), a program jointly offered by Bangor University and the Technical University of Dresden through the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship. Currently, I am working within the Earth Observation Science (EOS) and National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO) group at the University of Leicester. I am interested in understanding the response of tropical forests to climate change due to disturbances, such as fire, drought, and deforestation. My research involves analysing satellite data, using Earth system models to simulate the Earth’s climate system and applying machine learning techniques. This will enable us to better understand the impact of disturbances in tropical forests, their influence on the global carbon cycle and their response to future climate change.
