Research interests / activities

I am an architect & urban planner who has applied GIS (geospatially intelligent systems-services) to a variety of region and state-wide public service & water conservation programs and projects. I am currently working along the Bay of Bengal with communities demonstrating the creation of 'all animals' and multi-species worlds, where beyond-human animals are also equitably Earth and legal beings, as humans are (and where speciesism, ableism, sexism, casteism, etc. are known as inextricably entrenched within hierarchical anthropocentrism in order to dismantle anthropocentrism). My work builds upon biodiversity & habitat conservation efforts ensuring locally situated knowledges augment science/tech to retain multi-species-based biophilic cities.

Outputs

Building on material in community; working toward scholar-practitioner dissertation relating to the above. Presented at conferences - Gitam University, Antioch University, The Nature of Cities, and The Biophilic Cities Network.
