Currently, I am a PhD Candidate at Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DA-IICT), India. I am working under the guidance of Prof Anutosh Maitra as my principal supervisor and Prof Sanjay Chaudhary as co-guide. My research is focused on designing Semantic Geo Spatial Services based Eventing System for reducing chaos during emergency situations. More on my Research, Publications, Projects and other details can be found on research page. A brief overview is provided in my profile page. I am also maintaining a Blog posting some interesting things related to research that may be of interest to the peers.

Before joining the DA-IICT, I worked at School of Planning CEPT, as a Research Associate on various projects focused on Environmental Planning and Natural Resource Management. In spare time I am also associated with various activities with Gujarat Institute of Amateur Radio.
