I am originally a civil engineer turned into an agro-edapho-climatologist, my passion for sustainable agriculture sparked during my bachelor’s at the conference, where I discovered high-tech farming like drone irrigation. Recognizing that Indian farmers face small landholdings and low profits, I tackled rice husk waste by creating eco-friendly building blocks, providing farmers with new income sources and reducing greenhouse gases. Building on this initiative, I pursued a Master’s in Irrigation Water Management at Anna University, Chennai and graduated as a Gold Medalist, researching climate impacts on black gram cultivation using machine learning. Co-founding the NGO Hydrosphere Reserve, I prepared online content that promote sustainable practices. My PhD projects include mapping India’s rice yields with AI, presented at international conferences. Currently, my PhD work involves mapping India’s rice yields from 2004 to 2021 using self-supervised machine learning at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. I was awarded the CLIFF-GRADS scholarship, for which I conducted research at the University of Galway on satellite-based life cycle assessment in rice fields.
