Welcome !
Currently, I
am associated with
NEA
Engineering Company Limited as Senior
Specialist (Environment). In this position,
I lead various multi-disciplinary teams of
experts to carry out environmental and
social impact assessments and mitigation
planning (Environmental Impact Assessment -
EIA, Initial Environmental Examination - IEE,
Environmental and Social Management Plan -
ESMP) of energy sector projects (i.e.
hydropower, transmission line, solar
energy). Particularly, I am interested
with the application of quantitative tools
and techniques including those of geo-information science
in the field of environmental assessment, natural resources management, biodiversity conservation
and planning.
Occasionally,
I write on national newspapers and digital
media on contemporary environmental issues
and issues of national interest.
Earlier, I
was associated with the Department of
Environmental Science and Engineering, Kathmandu University as a PhD Research
Fellow under the
NORHED SUNREM-Himalaya Project
"Sustainable natural resource management for
climate change adaptation in the Himalayan
region" where I was studying the impact of climate
change on forest and water resources in Chure - Terai region of Nepal. I was,
intermittently,
involved with university teaching and supervising
also.
I also worked
for more than a decade with
National Trust
for Nature Conservation (NTNC) - a leading
conservation organization of Nepal. In early
career days, I was primarily involved in the
application of GIS and remote sensing for protected
area management, forest management, biodiversity
assessment and glacier studies. Later, as a
Senior Conservation Officer, I was mostly involved in programme
planning, monitoring, supervising/co-ordinating
project implementation.
