Riasad Bin Mahbub

Riasad is a PhD student in our team and is currently pursuing a PhD in the Environmental Dynamics program. His research focus on employing data-driven and process based models in conjunction with the multispectral satellite images to develop improved spatial dataset of gross primary productivity, planting and harvesting timings, and methane emissions in the fallow season for rice cultivation in Arkansas.

M.S. in Environmental Dynamics, University of Arkansas

B.Sc. in Environmental Science, North South University, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
