Yasin Wahid Rabby
My research is at the intersection of physical geography, mapping and statistics. I am interested in applying machine learning, data mining and classical statistics to study hazards and vulnerability. My Ph.D. research is focused on landslide mapping and susceptibility assessment, and the study area is Chittagong Hilly Areas (CHA), Bangladesh. I have prepared the landslide inventory of the study area combining Google Earth and field mapping. I have used bivariate, multivariate, machine learning, and deep learning methods to map landslide susceptibility of CHA. In this research, I am also trying to propose an efficient and plausible method to select non-landslide locations for regional-scale landslide susceptibility mapping. My research has been funded by the Penley-Thomas fellowship and McClure Scholarship program of University Tennessee, Knoxville.
Other than Ph.D. research, I have collaborated with the Ph.D. students and research fellows from Penn State University, University of Kentucky, University of Michigan and worked on the social vulnerability assessment and the application of remote sensing to attain sustainable development goals.In the future, I am interested in including the time and dimension of landslides with the landslide susceptibility to prepare landslide risk map.
