Research Interest

My research uses Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Interferometric SAR (InSAR), primarily Sentinel-1 TOPSAR, to measure ground and ice surface deformation. Current work focuses on the detection of slow-moving landslides in Central Nepal with multi-track time-series methods (MSBAS, AMSTer toolbox) and machine learning. I also work on cryosphere applications: ice-flow dynamics over Antarctic ice shelves, and regional climate modeling of surface mass balance over the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets.
