KEY INTERESTS
 SAR tomography for vertical structure estimation and scattering information retrieval.
 Polarimetric interferometric SAR data modeling for bio-geophysical parameter retrieval.
 Signal processing of Synthetic aperture radar signals.
 Digital image processing and analysis of remote sensing data.
 Photogrammetry and GIS data handling and analysis.
M.TECH RESEARCH WORK (2015-2016)
This research work aimed to examine and evaluate various spectral estimation based
TomoSAR algorithms over multi-frequency multi-baseline spaceborne PolInSAR dataset
to retrieve radar reflectivity associated with each forest height level and generate the
tomographic profile of forest structure. This work also tested a new spectral estimation
technique known as Capon-like algorithm for the first time over SAR dataset and
analyzed its performance over other established techniques.
