During my Doctoral research, the happening city of Pune was studied using remote sensing and GIS techniques and it is first of its kind during 2000s. Shannon's Entropy method and spatial analysis were applied to assess the urban sprawl and monitoring the Development plan of Pune. Trained during the Post-Doctoral fellowship on Object Based Image Analysis (2010) and got specialized in extracting features from very high resolution remote sensing data and known for slum extraction and assessing the green space of urban areas. Using AVIRIS data and urban spectral library, identified heat inducing urban built-up surface materials and the same was published in Remote Sensing of Environment, a high impact factor journal. Currently working on green infrastructure of urban areas for sustainable urban management.
