My research expertise includes examining biases and uncertainties in existing algorithms and models, as well as developing advanced and efficient methods for estimating satellite-based photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), PP, and BGC products. Additionally, I have investigated climate-driven perturbations, such as El Niño and La Niña, in both regional and global oceanic waters. I completed my doctoral thesis titled “Modelling of Sea Surface Solar Irradiance, Primary Productivity (PP), and Biogeochemical (BGC) Properties with Relevance to Optical Remote Sensing” under the guidance of Prof. Shanmugam at the Ocean Optics and Imaging Laboratory, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India.
I am currently working with Prof. Heather Bouman on the NERC-funded project, Integrating Drivers of Atlantic Productivity (IDAPro). This work focuses on the estimation of phytoplankton productivity in the subpolar North Atlantic at multiple scales, using both in-situ and satellite data.
