EDUCATION
M.S in Hydrology (Geosciences) Boise State University, US Fall 2015 (Expected) Graduate Certificate in GIS Boise State University, US Summer 2015 B.E in Geomatics Engineering Kathmandu University, Nepal Spring 2013 Research Exchange Student University of Nice, France Fall 2012
RELATED EXPERIENCE
Research Assistant Boise Center Aerospace Laboratory (BCAL) , Idaho Jan, 2014 - Present
Used Lidar and Landsat to estimate semi-arid rangeland biomass and cover Processing of remote sensing data (Lidar, multispectral and hyperspectral) using ENVI and ArcGIS. Developed and presented statistical multiple linear regression, regression tree and machine learning model
(Random Forest) using MATLAB, R and SPM. Carried out terrestrial laser scanning and reflectance spectroscopy in the field. Cooperated and Worked as a team with post-doctoral research fellow and PhD candidates, and agencies (USGS,
Joint Fire Science Program, etc.) for RS data collection, GIS analysis and statistical investigation.
Lecturer Kantipur International College of Engineering & Management, Nepal March-Dec ,2013
Courses taught: Engineering Survey and GIS to Civil Engineering sophomore students
Research Intern UMR 7300 ESPACE CNRS, France Aug, 2012-Feb, 2013
Developed and calibrated hydrological model using HEC-HMS/GeoHMS
Estimated the runoff in the Giscle catchment in France using the self-developed GIS model Used ERDAS and ArcGIS to process to study the fire ignition risk in Mediterranean forest
TECHNICAL SKILLS
Lidar & Remote Sensing: Point cloud and Image processing using ENVI, ERDAS/LPS, Terrascan
GIS & mapping: ESRI ArcGIS (ArcMap, ArcCatalog, ArcSDE), Google Earth/Map Engine, QGIS Programming/Database: Matlab, R, Python(Arcpy), C, PostgreSQL, MS Access, PHP and HTML, HPC
Engineering Survey: Topographic and Construction Survey, Total Station, RTK GPS, Topcon/Sokkia Link Hydrology: LACHAT Ion Chromatography, Campbell CR 1000 datalogger, HEC-RAS/HEC-HMS
Other: Auto CAD, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, Webmap Server, Netlogo
