With over two decades of experience, Sagar has developed extensive expertise in Civil and Surveying Engineering. His professional background encompasses FEMA NFIP regulations and remote sensing operations, with a particular emphasis on airborne lidar and photogrammetry. Drawing on his comprehensive knowledge of geospatial surveying and civil engineering, Sagar will be a great asset to any engineering and geospatial projects.

Prior to starting his firm, Sagar was Senior Geospatial technology manager at Dewberry where he was a SME for surveying and remote sensing projects. Sagar also served as an Associate Professor at Penn State University and Ferris State University, where he taught geospatial and surveying courses, conducted research, and coordinated the surveying engineering program. His contributions include developing methodologies to address complex challenges in lidar, imagery, topo-bathy, GIS, remote sensing, and hydrology and hydraulics. Sagar also has considerable experience with FEMA's NFIP program, having led numerous countywide floodplain mapping projects and reviewed over 100 Letters of Map Change (LOMC) cases. 

His educational qualifications include a Doctorate (2017) and a Master’s (2008) in Geodetic Science from The Ohio State University, a Master’s (2004) in Civil Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, and a Bachelor’s (2001) in Civil Engineering from SPCE, University of Mumbai. He is an active member of the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.

Sagar currently serves as editor for the new book review column for the PE&RS Journal. Over the past two decades, he has contributed to several technical papers and presentations. Please click below to see the patent, journal, and conference paper at the following link.
