I am a Ph.D. graduate in Water Science and Management with a minor in Computer Science from New Mexico State University, specializing in overlapping geoscientifc disciplines including remote sensing, geophysical modeling, machine learning, and GIS analysis. Proven ability to integrate advanced computational and geospatial techniques coupled with machine learning to support geoscience research particularly Aquifer mapping and hydrogeologic characterization. Committed to advancing geoscientific understanding through innovative methodologies, interdisciplinary collaboration, and field-to-model integration. Outside of science, I am an avid cricket enthusiast and keenly follow mega cricketing events; fond of south-asian, mediterranean cuisine.
