My academic and research interests are deeply rooted at the intersection of ecology, spatial analysis, and data-driven conservation. I possess a specialized focus on chemical ecology of insects, where I am fascinated by the complex semiochemical interactions that govern insect behavior, plant-insect relationships, and trophic dynamics. To effectively scale these intricate biological interactions and translate them into actionable conservation strategies, I am proficient in geographical information systems (GIS) for spatial modeling and habitat analysis. This expertise directly supports my interest in sustainable land use planning, where I aim to integrate ecological data with urban and rural development plans to promote biodiversity and ecosystem resilience. Underpinning all of my research is a strong foundation in biostatistics, which I employ to design robust experiments, rigorously analyze complex ecological datasets, and derive meaningful, statistically sound conclusions from field and laboratory observations.

My professional passion lies in harnessing environmental data to drive sustainable land management and conservation outcomes. I am particularly focused on integrating meteorological data analysis with advanced satellite imagery to inform robust land use planning, ensuring that development decisions are resilient to climate variability and minimize ecological disruption. A key application of this work is in the development and monitoring of eco habitat development projects, where I aim to design and restore functional landscapes that support biodiversity. This expertise directly supports the zoo taxa community by providing scientific frameworks for in-situ and ex-situ conservation initiatives and habitat suitability analyses. Furthermore, I am keenly interested in quantifying the environmental benefits of such projects to generate verifiable carbon credits, creating a vital economic incentive for conservation and providing a holistic approach to addressing both the biodiversity and climate crises.
