Rate My Professor Priyakant Sinha

Sinha holds a PhD in Remote Sensing and GIS application in Vegetation Change Detection from the University of New England (2013), an MS in Environmental Science and Management from the University of New England (2018), and an M.Tech in Remote Sensing from Birla Institute of Technology, India (1999). Previously, he served as principal GIS and Remote Sensing analyst in a World Bank-funded project on sodic land reclamation for wheat crop production in India (2000-2003) and developed GIS raster-based multi-criteria analysis shell modelling for natural resource management priorities with the NSW Department of Environment and Heritage (2012-2013). He has over 10 years of teaching experience in remote sensing and geospatial courses in Australia and Ethiopia. At UNE, he teaches GISC334 Introduction to GIS and Spatial Thinking, GISC433 Spatial Analysis and Modelling, PA335/435 Precision Agriculture, and Hort420 Remote Sensing Applications in Horticulture.
