## About

```text
At Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bhubaneswar, I mapped aerosol pollution across the Bhubaneswar region by combining MODIS AOD with Landsat-derived land-cover products.

I built Google Earth Engine workflows for LULC classification, change detection, and validation, including cloud masking, atmospheric correction, and spectral indices.

I automated processing in MATLAB and used Python for correlation and regression analysis of AOD against land-surface parameters. I also produced multi-scale time-series maps comparing urban, peri-urban, and rural zones.

My work spans satellite image analysis, GIS, and geological field mapping. I’m seeking remote sensing, GIS, geospatial analytics, and geoscience roles.
