Dr. AMIT KUMAR

Assistant Professor & Co-ordinator, Department of Geoinformatics

Technical Cell In-charge, CUJ

Joined in Aug 2011

 Room Number: BM-206

 Department of Geoinformatics ,CUJ

Dr. Amit Kumar has been involved in interdisciplinary research with focus on man-environment interactions, disaster risk and resilience, and climate change implications primarily in the urban milieu for last 12 years. His thrust areas of research are to improve urban ecology through physio-socio-economic-hazard-risk investigations and methods to augment ecological quality using geoinformatics and machine learning techniques. He is engaged with various R&D projects including state-of-the-art NASA-ISRO SAR (NISAR), GISAT and Airborne Hyperspectral Sensing (AVIRIS-NG) missions for vegetation monitoring as well as DBT sponsored mapping and quantitative assessment of Plant resources of Central India. Presently, he is working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geoinformatics, Central University of Jharkhand, India and published various research articles in various journals and books of international and national repute. He is a member of various academic societies including IUCN-Commission on Ecosystem management (South Asia), National Association of Geographer, Indian (NAGI), International Society of Environmental Botanists (ISEB- Lucknow), and Global Forest Biodiversity Initiatives (GFBI)- USA.
