I am a PhD Candidate in Department of Geography, University of California Santa Barbara since Fall 2007. Currently I am working with Dr. Keith Clarke on Land Use and Land Cover Change modeling. I completed my Bachelors (2005) and Masters (2007) degree in Geography from University of Calcutta with specialization in Cartography. Other than my dissertation work, I have taught and developed undergraduate and graduate courses in Cartography and GIS, and have worked as a research assistant in GIS and Transportation Planning projects. The details of my educational background and research work are given in my curriculum vitae.
Apart from work, I love to spend my time hanging around with friends, travelling and honing my skills in photography. I am great movie buff, an avid reader and weekly radio programmer at our university FM radio station.
