He has a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Rome, Italy, MTech from the IIT Bombay in Resource Engineering, and MSc in Physics from Delhi University. Earlier, he worked as a research fellow at IREA-CNR, Italy, postdoctoral researcher at the Arizona State University in the USA, and a scientist in Geoscience-Australia under the Australian government. His primary research focused on developing advanced multi-temporal SAR interferometry (InSAR) algorithms and exploring InSAR capability by integrating with other remote sensing data for monitoring various natural and anthropogenic hazard phenomena.<\/p>\n<h4>Social Media Links<\/h4>\n<p><strong>ResearchGate:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Chandrakanta-Ojha\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Chandrakanta-Ojha <\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Twitter:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chandraphyctc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/chandraphyctc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"tabtitle\">Research<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tabcontent\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"grpmbrmg img-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/web.iisermohali.ac.in\/dept\/ees\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Chandrakanta_group_photo.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Our group focuses on interdisciplinary research covering a broad spectrum of satellite remote sensing technology and its application for Earth observation related to natural and anthropogenic processes.
