Research and Professional Interests
My research interests include GIScience, Spatial Analysis/Modelling, Health Geography, Time Geography and Drone Remote Sensing. Outside academia, I enjoy photography, travelling by public transportation, and playing keyboard synthesizer.
Why Geography, Geomatics and Environment at UTM?
I have a deep passion for the natural environment around UTM’s campus. Its blend of award-winning architecture and beautiful landscapes makes it a tranquil and inspiring place to study. More importantly, my undergraduate experience at UTM has shown me the value of its strong, supportive community. The connections I’ve built with my professors and peers have provided, and continue to provide, academic growth and a sense of belonging that has been crucial to both my educational and professional development.
