Surajit Ghosh
[edit]Surajit Ghosh is an experienced researcher with a demonstrated history of working in the environmental services industry (Applications of spatial techniques in Natural Hazards[1][2], Forestry[3], Water Resources[4], and Agriculture[5]). He has completed his bachelor's degree in Mathematics as a major from Surendranth College and a Master's in Computer Applications from Narula Institute of Technology. Further, he has completed his MPhil degree from the School of Oceanographic Studies, Jadavpur University and his PhD in Civil Engineering from the National Institute of Technology Durgapur. He earned his post-graduation diploma from the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, ISRO.
He is skilled in Machine learning, Geo-Big Data analytics and cloud computing. He is experienced in Hydrological and Ecological modelling. He worked for various profit and non-profit organizations, such as the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA)[6][7] and IORA Ecological Solutions Pvt. Ltd, and space agencies such as the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing,Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Currently, he is working for the International Water Management Institute (IWMI)[8]. He also represents IWMI in CGIAR-CSI – Consortium for Spatial Information.
His work has primarily been in the South Asia region and Africa. His research focuses on multi-sensor data integration to develop spatial decision support systems to mitigate Climate Risks, specifically floods and droughts. He is a member of the Science Application Team of the upcoming NASA project SWOT[9] and has done several projects with the World Bank, IFAD, and other international agencies. He published over 50 scientific articles[10], policy briefs, technical reports and blogs[11][12].
He is also a certified Chartered Engineer from the Institution of Engineers (India), a member of the Geospatial Information Sectional Committee, LITD 22, Govt of India, a Life member of the Indian Society of Remote Sensing and a Senior Member of IEEE.
