Biography

Geo-science graduate with a solid academic background and a comprehensive skill set, developed by interactive engagement with High level research academia and Industrial organizations over time. I have also been part of few workshops conducted by Society for Underwater Technology (SUT), European Association of Geo-scientists and Engineers (EAGE) and Society of Exploration Geophysicts (SEG). I am extremely passionate about Energy Technologies, Research skills, Infrastructure development, and Geohazards assessment on both Land and Marine use of the geoscience Engineering discipline.

Research Interests

I graduated with a Master's Degree in Applied Marine Geosciences at School of Ocean sciences, Bangor University, and also pursued my Integrated Master of Science and Technology degree in Applied Geology at the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines). I have a particular interest in the geological, geophysical and geotechnical sciences. In particular, I am interested in understanding how our planet works through mineral deposits and landcapes of earth and offshore infrastructure development. Furthermore, I wish to pursue my interest in the field of Earth Sciences by working in the fields of Research and Development R&D, sustainability, environmental consulting and business analytics. Currently working on Carbon capture and storage. Research on Geological carbon sequestration in Basalt. Geological analysis, Seismic simulations and Rock physics modelling.
