Postdoctoral scholar
Dr. Shashank Bhushan is a postdoctoral scholar in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Washington. His research work focuses on developing methods and workflows for deriving high-resolution topography from satellite imagery, and using the derived products for quantifying mountain glacier dynamics and mass balance at various time scales. He is currently learning the ropes of photogrammetry, glaciology, coding, big data computing and most importantly, time management.
