 | Welcome to my profile ! I am a(n) Controlled Source (Exploration) Seismologist by practice. In my research, I use land and marine
exploration geophysical datasets acquired either by industries or
academic institutions for modeling and imaging of subsurface fossil-fuel reservoir to crustal scale structural features. During my stay at IIT Kanpur I have formed the Crustal Imaging Laboratory (CIL), which is equipped with state-of-the-art seismic data acquisition set up and processing softwares for both land and marine seismic datasets. My work at IIT Kanpur is multifaceted and broadly classified into three major themes: (1) Tectonic studies across Himalaya, Sumatra-Andaman, BoB using high-resolution seismic datasets (2) Development of algorithms for petrophysical parameter estimation of hydrocarbon and ore reserves (3) Ambient Noise and earthquake data analysis To learn more about my work please feel free to contact me. |
