aiTales of Research

Behind every map, model, and paper is a story — of late nights, quiet forests, drinking cups of Chai and the moment the data finally spoke.

Four chapters from the research path

From groundwater beneath a city to the structure of forests across continents.

My first step into research — analysing groundwater vulnerability in Peshawar with a GIS-based DRASTIC model, one map at a time.

In Finland’s forests, a search for the right plot size — and the moment 250–450 m² became the forest’s “sweet spot.”

Refining how we measure forest complexity — from McArthur’s FHD to the Gini Coefficient applied to LiDAR heights.

Classifying forest structures across Boreal, Mediterranean, and Atlantic woodlands — a universal language of the canopy.
