About me

I am a forester exercising my career in geo-informatics. I work for National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC). I am interested in the application of geo-informatics and spatial statistics in conservation and ecological studies. As I come from forestry background, I have interest on forest management and measurements as well.
