I am a quantitative geographer enjoying the synergy of machine learning, remote sensing, and human geography. My recent research is focusing on urban environmental change and its related topics: 1) environmental health, mental health; 2) sustainable development in mountainous Himalaya regions; and 3) 3-D urban form in the Global South.

I recently joined Yale Institute for Biospheric Studies as a Donnelley Postdoctoral Associate to lead the project Global Human Imprints of 3-D Urban Structures.

Tools I like to use:
- Human dimension of remote sensing
- GIS science
- Machine learning
