My current research focus is on exploring applications of geospatial technologies in interdisciplinary fields, especially:

• Watershed modelling and sustainable land use planning
• Disaster risk assessments
• River basin dynamics and landscape evaluation
• Spatial mapping/modelling of environmental and health datasets
