Forest Carbon & Ecosystem Modeling Researcher
Integrating ecological models and geospatial data to assess climate-driven forest change and carbon dynamics
ABOUT
I am a forest carbon and ecosystem modeling researcher working at the intersection of ecological science and geospatial data analytics. My research examines carbon balance within forest ecosystems, with particular emphasis on belowground processes, soil carbon dynamics, and disturbance-driven change across spatial and temporal scales.
I integrate process-based ecosystem models, remote sensing, and spatial data science to quantify carbon fluxes, evaluate management interventions, and understand climate-driven forest transitions. My work bridges ecological theory and applied modeling to support robust carbon accounting, ecosystem resilience, and sustainable land management.
Looking ahead, I aim to advance scalable modeling frameworks that improve how we measure, predict, and manage forest carbon systems under changing environmental conditions.
