Biography

Jyotirmoy is currently working as an Associate Professor in IISER Bhopal. Prior to joining academia he has a vast experience in the petroleum industry, having served Shell as a structural geologist for 8 years in different locations like the UK, Netherlands, Australia and India. Jyotirmoy earned his Ph.D. degree in 2008 from IIT Bombay in association with University of Heidelberg under DAAD exchange program. He is currently heading the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at IISER Bhopal. Jyotirmoy is visting KAUST as a faculty during May-July 2024.

Research Interests

Jyotirmoy's research interests lie at the intersection of Petroleum and Coal Geology, Coal Bed Methane (CBM), Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in Basalt, Geodynamics, and Structural Geology. He focuses on developing permeability models for coal to optimize CBM extraction and CCS, while also investigating the impact of rock deformation on petroleum reservoir development. Additionally, his work delves into understanding the geodynamics of magma emplacement and studying active tectonics and related geohazards. Through interdisciplinary approaches, Jyotirmoy aims to advance knowledge in energy-related practices, subsurface processes, and natural hazard mitigation, contributing to solutions for pressing societal challenges.
