RESEARCH EXPERIENCE PERTINENT TO Ph.D.
Apart from the industrial experience during my service tenure, as a Part-time Research Scholar (2014-2018) I have completed a Ph.D. from IIT (ISM), Dhanbad, India over the topic entitled ?Geochemical behaviour of fluoride contamination in groundwater, its distribution and mobilization in and around Jamui, Indo-Gangetic alluvial plains, Bihar, India.?. I have undertaken various investigations using different hydrochemical, isotopic techniques, hydrological and Analytical Hierarchy Process (MCDM ? AHP) approach coupled with the GIS environment for delineating the spatial distribution of groundwater fluoride contamination regions in the study area. During my Ph.D. time, I did collaborative research work by integrating with research organizations (CIMFR, Dhanbad, IIT Bombay, and NPL, Ahmedabad) which is noteworthy and yielded good output and quality research publications.
RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS IN PEER-REVIEWED JOURNALS
It is worth mentioning that I have 19 Nos. of International research publications in peer-reviewed journals of reputed publishers, namely, Nature Research, Elsevier, Springer, Taylor & Francis Group etc. Perhaps the first medical geology, paper got published from India in Nature Scientific Reports.
