Dr. Md Didarul Islam is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School for Environment and Sustainability, University of Michigan. His research sits at the intersection of geospatial artificial intelligence (geoAI), urban informatics, and environmental remote sensing, with a focus on how deep learning and multimodal Earth observation can advance land cover and land use mapping. His work spans urban forestry, social and environmental disparities in cities, land cover and land use change, and the integration of satellite imagery, LiDAR, and time series data to support equitable and sustainable urban environments. He is currently leading a Special Issue in Remote Sensing on intelligent satellite image interpretation and deep learning driven multimodal land cover classification.
