Nilesh Mishra

PhD Research

My PhD at IIT Jodhpur, supported by the IndiaAI Fellowship, focuses on developing AI-driven methods for understanding, reconstructing, and modelling large-scale real-world environments in 3D.

My research broadly spans:

3D Terrain ReconstructionDigital TwinsPoint Cloud UnderstandingMultimodal Geospatial AILandscape Prediction and SimulationSpatio-Temporal Change AnalysisGeospatial Intelligence

The broader goal is to develop scalable and generalizable AI systems for analysing complex environments and supporting applications in environmental monitoring, disaster resilience, and strategic geospatial analysis.
