Since Earth observation information services are playing an increasingly important role in monitoring climate change and assessing resource sustainability, our team protects the pulse through utilizing a range of satellite data and associated modelling approaches to evaluate land resource distribution and its utilization choices to support land resource planning and policy decision in agriculture and wider sustainable development sectors.

I have found that ICIMOD’s unique placing as a knowledge broker among global scientific hubs and local users provides enormous opportunity to contribute in translating science accomplishments in the areas of satellite remote sensing, climate data modelling, etc., into practical usages for achieving food security and ecosystem wellbeing.

I am passionate about utilizing my knowledge and experience in Earth observation for providing impactful solutions to real world problems related to natural resource management and climate change.

I have 18 years’ experience in geospatial science and its applications to agriculture, ecosystems, water resources and climate change. I hold a PhD from University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS), China and an Msc in Geomatics from Karlsruhe University, Germany.
