About Sai Ganesh Veeravalli

Current Research

As a doctoral student at Karlstad University, my research focuses on mapping and modelling deprived urban areas (DUAs) as part of the DEPRIMAP project. This interdisciplinary work integrates geospatial data, morphometric analysis, and machine learning to examine urban morphology, vulnerability, and risks. The aim is to develop scalable methodologies for identifying and analyzing DUAs, supporting sustainable urban development and resilience planning. My work also explores the role of urban form in influencing socio-economic and environmental risks, contributing to a better understanding of urban deprivation across diverse contexts.

Previous Research

Prior to my current role, I worked on a variety of geospatial projects with a focus on coastal environments, wildlife conservation and tool development. This included analyzing morphological changes in sand dunes using UAV data, shoreline change assessments, wildlife-linear infrastructure conflict mitigation, species monitoring, evaluating the effectiveness of coastal protection structures, and preparing shoreline management plans (SMPs). I also contributed to the development of geospatial tools for assessing coastal vulnerability and high-risk areas due to damaged protection structures. These projects emphasized the application of geospatial technologies in environmental management and decision-making, laying a strong foundation for my current research.
