Being the member of core committee of Google Developer Students Club, CHARUSAT, he frequently conducts workshops and hands on sessions on the latest and trending tools and technologies.
During the research at UGA, he will work in collaboration with the CyanoTRACKER team in Geography Department. ‘I will specifically work on running machine learning algorithms on social media reported posts and satellite validated cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) data (photos and satellite images). I may also focus on detecting and mapping CyanoHABs infested water bodies in India and other Southeast Asian countries’, says Chintan, expressing his enthusiasm to be a part of this research.
