My research journey is propelled by a profound curiosity to better understand our  Earth system dynamics and their resilience towards the changing environment. Moreover, I am particularly fascinated by the state-of-the-art and rapidly evolving  advances in remote sensing technologies  and their application in providing a nuanced analysis of  complex social-ecological interactions  — which I often try to utilize in my research.

Currently, I am investigating the  carbon footprint of deforestation  and the influence of  global food supply chains  in its progression. This entails a thorough analysis of agricultural and forestry commodities and their consumption patterns globally, tracing their impact on deforestation and carbon emissions. My aim is to bolster the accuracy of deforestation attribution and the carbon emissions accounting of these commodities, thus contributing to more  informed decision-making  for both private and public entities by leveraging advances in remote sensing.

My past research endeavors have led me to probe the  resilience of forests  amid the pressures exerted by climate change and land use. Using the empirical understanding around the adaptive mechanisms of forest ecosystems towards changing hydroclimate, I have developed frameworks to project vulnerability, particularly focusing on  water-induced tipping points within rainforest systems under future climate change. These findings carry significant weight for the future strategies in  conservation and sustainability , particularly under the specter of anticipated climatic shifts.

Each step on my research path aims not only to push the boundaries of our scientific knowledge but also to underscore my commitment to disseminating insights that foster the development of  resilient forest and food systems .
