University at Albany (UAlbany), New York (USA). He has been associated with Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Noida (India), as a full-time Assistant Professor from 2016. He has been revisiting a wide range of issues associated with traditional research activities in the intersection area of Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics, Information Science, Energy Sciences, Climate Sciences, Sustainable Urban Studies, Environment and Climate Change, Urban Weather and Climate Modelling, Database Systems, Data Analysis and Visualization. He has completed two government- sponsored research projects namely "Hybrid Urban Landscape Analysis for Green Smart Cities through Geospatial Technology" sponsored by the Science and Engineering Research Board, Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, and "Meta- sensing of the urban footprint from airborne synthetic aperture radar (ASAR) data" sponsored from Space Applications Centre (ISRO), Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India as a sole principal investigator. Dr Kumar has led a cross-functional research team for project development, management, laboratory setups, and supervision, along with academic research training for undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD students and fellow researchers. He has published 45+ research articles in high-impact web of science/Scopus-indexed international journals by Elsevier, Springer, Taylor & Francis, Emerald, SAGE, and Wiley publications. He has reviewed more than 150+ research articles as an ad-hoc/adjunct/invited reviewer or editorial board member for high-impact factor journals published by IEEE, Elsevier, Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis Group, Wiley, SAGE, Emerald, MDPI. He has supervised four PhD students and 29 postgraduate students. He has conducted 15 academic, research, and industrial visits for undergraduate students. He encourages researchers to develop their skills, knowledge, and experience through conference appearances, outreach activities, and the contribution of professional membership of learned bodies. He is a member of a lifetime member of various prestigious professional bodies like IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society, American Geophysical Union (AGU), European Geosciences Union (EGU), Member of American Meteorological Society (AMS), International Association for Urban Climate (IAUC), American Association of Geographers (AAG), International Geographical Union (IGU), International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing etc.
