I am a Ph.D student in the department of geography at Kansas State University. My academic and research interest includes forestry, landscape ecology, advance spatial statistics and remote sensing.I am involved in an application of GIS and remote sensing tools to develop a habitat based disease prediction models.During my M.A I was associated with the project titled " The Impact of Rapid Anthropogenic Land Cover Change in the Chaco and Interior Atlantic Forest in Paraguay on Hantavirus Ecology." The association in this project later formed the basis of my M.A thesis.Working in this project was a rewarding experience. This involvement drew my attention towards the importance of geographic knowledge and geospatial tools in developing an understanding in infectious disease studies.

Currently, I am in a process of formulating a dissertation proposal focussing on the impact of landscape, climate and socioeconomic factors in malaria disease ecology in Nepal
