Biography

I am an Assistant Professor specializing in quantitative remote sensing of mangrove ecosystems. My research focuses on mangrove biomass estimation, canopy structure and height, functional trait monitoring, carbon stock assessment, and spatiotemporal dynamics. I integrate optical, SAR, and LiDAR data with radiative transfer models, machine learning, and deep learning to develop physically informed methods for ecological parameter retrieval and large-scale mapping. My broader academic interests include wetland remote sensing, multi-source data fusion, blue carbon assessment, and Earth observation applications for coastal ecosystem conservation and restoration.
