ABHISHEK ADHIKARI

CED, IIT Roorkee · Uttarakhand · India · [email protected]

I am a researcher specializing in the application of 'Applied Geospatial Technologies in agricultural monitoring and decision-making'. My core interests span across Remote Sensing, GIS, Machine Learning, resource planning and data-driven decision-making systems aimed at addressing critical challenges in agricultural and environmental resource management. Currently (as of 2025), I am working as an Admin Officer (Technical) at AICIL (Agriculture Insurance Company of India), serving as a Remote Sensing and GIS Specialist since June 2023. In parallel, I am pursuing doctoral research as a Research Scholar under the supervision of Dr. R D GARG and and Dr. Anupam Singhal .. My research focuses on leveraging Geoinformatics and Remote Sensing to investigate and model multiplatform remote sensing based agriculture parameters for improved agricultural productivity and sustainability.
Previously, I have worked on intgrated UAV-based systems for orchard geo-management, exploring precision agriculture techniques to enhance on-field decision-making. Intelligent systems built on integrated geospatial knowledge and analytics can unlock practical solutions to complex agricultural and environmental problems. Many such geospatial challenges remain unexplored, and I am passionate about collaborative research that contributes to community development and welfare.
