Vivek Kumar Singh is a research scholar at the center of atmospheric science, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IIT Delhi). He has completed his master's in technology in Remote Sensing and GIS from the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, ISRO, in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. He focused on the different applications of Remote Sensing and GIS using geocomputational modeling with satellite observations during his time in graduate school. His main research expertise is in the application of satellite remote sensing for air quality monitoring and assessment, urban heat island and remote sensing, and geographical systems around the world. He is also interested in researching the air quality in growing megacities, spatial and temporal trends in aerosols over urban regions, the radiative effects of aerosols, the development of statistical models to estimate surface level particulate matter air quality, aerosols and clouds data validation, and the retrieval of cloud products from UV satellite measurements. He is also an associate with the BhuNak science team on the development and validation of new GIS products for climate studies. He also currently participated in developing and conducting remote sensing technical workshops and capacity building activities for the BhuNak Program, where he teaches the application of satellite imagery to environmental decision-making activities with a focus on urban living quality.
