Bridging the gap between artificial intelligence and earth observation

With over 15 years in academia, I lead research at the intersection of deep learning and remote sensing. My work focuses on developing intelligent systems that can interpret satellite imagery, enabling applications from urban planning to environmental monitoring.

As Head of the CSE Department at NIT Puducherry, I'm committed to nurturing the next generation of researchers while advancing our understanding of spatial data through innovative AI techniques.
