Research Interests
My research interests mainly focusses on the interdisciplinary study of environment and sustainability, with particular emphasis on water resources management and its role in supporting resilient ecosystems and communities. I explore issues in environmental and social geography to understand human–environment interactions, inequalities, and spatial patterns of resource use. I am also interested in atmospheric sciences, especially in relation to climate variability and its impacts on water and urban systems. Additionally, I am interested in urban development, examining sustainable planning, environmental challenges, and policy-driven approaches for inclusive and climate-resilient cities.
