Hallo, Freunde, I am Rishabh Mondal (ঋষভ মণ্ডল). In Bengali, “Rishabh” means superior and also refers to the second note (Re) in the octave of Indian classical music: a sound associated with harmony and grace.

My research lies at the intersection of Earth Observation and Computer Vision, with a focus on environmental monitoring, geographical domain generalization, and foundation models for remote sensing. I am currently a Ph.D. scholar at the Sustainability Lab, IIT Gandhinagar, supervised by Prof. Nipun Batra. I hold an M.Tech (2023) in Information Technology from the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur, where I worked under the guidance of Dr. Prasun Ghosal in the domain of TinyML, and a B.Tech (2021) in Computer Science and Engineering from The Neotia University, Kolkata.
