Dr. Nazeer has earned his PhD from the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI), The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (Rank#91, QS World University Rankings 2020), Hong Kongduring 2016. Currently, he is serving as Associate Professor at the Key Laboratory of Digital Land and Resources, East China University of Technology (ECUT), Nanchang Jiangxi, China. Previously, he has worked in universities in Pakistan, Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia.His research interests include Oceanic Remote Sensing, land cover and land use classification, atmospheric aerosols and atmospheric correction of satellite imagery. His current research is on the health assessment of inland water bodies under changing climate scenariosusing earth observation data sets. He is actively looking for collaborators for his current research from around the world and specifically from China.

During last five years he has authored/co-authored 21 peer-reviewed journal articles and 9 articles in different international conferences.During 2018, he has completed two funded projects as Co-PI with an accumulative amount of USD 19,000. He is an active reviewer of more than 30 international journals including Remote Sensing of Environment, Remote Sensing, Journal of Applied Remote Sensing and Science of the Total Environment. More details on his publications, projects and peer-review activities can be found at his ORCID profile (https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7631-1599).
