Biography

My research interests focus on the design and development of GIS-based tools aimed at optimizing subsurface drainage systems and water management practices in agricultural settings. I am dedicated to creating geospatial models that assess land suitability for various agricultural practices, promoting sustainable development while maximizing crop yield. Additionally, I work on developing predictive models for water flow, sediment transport, and nutrient loading in agricultural watersheds, which are crucial for informed decision-making in rural development programs. I am also committed to enhancing farmers' capabilities through technology by developing platforms that allow for the visualization and analysis of geospatial data. My research explores the integration of sensors, GPS, and GIS for real-time farm monitoring and management, ensuring that stakeholders can make data-driven decisions. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative educational initiatives, I aim to address pressing environmental challenges and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of agricultural water management.
