Researchers
Pooja Pandey, MSc
PhD Student
My research interests include the use of spatial analysis and geographical information systems to analyse natural disasters and to evaluate geographical access to disaster services and employment opportunities for everyone. Use of GIS can be helpful for forest fire analysis and risk reduction which is also a vibrant multi-pronged research project that serves my interest.
