Abdul Qadir
Assistant Research Professor, University of Maryland College Park
I am a Geospatial Scientist currently working for NASA HARVEST for global crop monitoring. I develop statistical and machine learning-based models to extract insights from remote sensing (especially SAR) data. Additionally, I utilize causal inference to assess the impact of climate and human-induced changes on agriculture and natural resources. I aim to support policymakers in addressing issues related to agriculture and food security.
