I am currently Research Scientist at SAIC and NASA Goddard space flight center, Hydrological sciences lab. My researches is primarily focused on land surface modeling, enhancing the NASA Land Information System (LIS), and utilizing satellite data and large-scale models to investigate the water cycle and the impact of human activities on it.
Before NASA I was a post-doctoral research associate at the Biosystem and Agricultural Engineering Faculty, Michigan State University, where I was working with the NASA Terrestrial hydrology program (THP) to develop a high-resolution SMAP soil moisture product for the northern latitudes. I was also involved in the upcoming NASA-ISRO NISAR mission (2023) to work on monitoring changes in permafrost landscapes and using high-resolution NISAR soil moisture data for agricultural water management at the field scale.
