Usman Mazhar received his
Ph.D. degree in remote sensing from Nanjing University of Information Science
and Technology, Nanjing, China, in 2022. His research areas include surface
energy budget and its mechanism using optical remote sensing data. His expanded
research interests are aerosol optical depth and droughts and monitoring land
use and land cover changes. Dr. Mazhar was the recipient of the prestigious Chinese
Government Scholarship for his Ph.D. studies.
Experience
Lecturer at University of Gujrat, Pakistan from September 2014 to august 2018.
Research Assistant at The Urban Unit, Pakistan from June 2013 to May 2014.
