MIGRSM · Practicing Professional Member
I work at the intersection of machine learning, geospatial science, and environmental monitoring — applying data-driven methods to understand how water, land, and climate interact. Currently researching bias correction of satellite precipitation estimates to improve drought monitoring in Sarawak, in collaboration with the state government.
What I Do
Investigating how satellite-derived precipitation data can be corrected and validated to better capture drought conditions — particularly in tropical regions where ground observations are sparse.
MPhil ResearchWorking with products like CHIRPS, PERSIANN, and IMERG to extract meaningful environmental signals. Focused on bias correction methodologies for improving data reliability over Borneo.
Core ExpertiseApplying ML approaches to environmental datasets — from classification of land cover change to regression models for climate indices. Bridging the gap between data science and earth observation.
Applied MethodsUsing multi-temporal satellite imagery to track vegetation dynamics, land use change, and ecosystem health — with a focus on Southeast Asian tropical landscapes.
Research InterestMy Work
MPhil research project in collaboration with the Sarawak state government. Evaluating and correcting satellite-derived rainfall products to improve the accuracy of drought indices over a data-sparse tropical region.
An independent software library for computing standardised drought indices from hydrometeorological inputs. Registered intellectual property under MyIPO (Malaysia Intellectual Property Office).
Independent projects built on open data — exploring evaporative stress, forest cover change, and precipitation analysis across Southeast Asia.
