Dr. Priyanka Singh has joined as an Assistant Professor at the TERI School of Advanced Studies on 12 November 2024 in the Department of Natural and Applied Sciences. She received her PhD in Data Science from IIT(ISM) and IIRS (ISRO), India in 2019. She received international and national awards in machine learning and spatial sciences. Before joining TERI SAS, Dr Priyanka Singh was working as an Assistant Professor at UPES, Dehradun and Symbiosis International Deemed University, Pune. She is also serving as a Secretary of the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing for Working Group (WG) IV/10 – “Applied Spatial Science for Public Health”. She conveyed various special sessions and tutorials at internationally renowned conferences in the domain of machine learning, geospatial science and citizen science. She published more than 15 research papers and articles in national and international journals/proceedings. Dr. Singh is interested in developing tools and frameworks using applied domain of artificial intelligence, machine learning, citizen science and geospatial technology for the societal development.
