Data driven solutions help to expand our knowledge and research and I believe I protect the pulse of the planet through my own studies on data driven approaches and through identifying solutions using the latest machine learning approaches.

I feel that I’ve gotten a golden chance at ICIMOD to play with data and run various machine learning models, which has been my dream job. I love ICIMOD’s wonderful people across diverse themes and regional programmes working on inter-disciplinary research topics and contributing to protecting the pulse of the planet in their own interesting ways.

I believe that being passionate about something is an evolutionary process. Prior to joining ICIMOD, I was very much into R and data visualization and now I am into machine learning using Python.

I hold a Master’s degree in environmental and natural resources from Kathmandu University, Nepal and I also hold a Master’s degree in high performance and scientific computing from Swansea University, United Kingdom, as a Chevening Scholar.
