About
I wish to inform you, I am Manikanda Bharath K and I am a seasoned geoscience researcher with over 8 years of experience as a Field Geoscientist at the Institute for Ocean Management, Anna University, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. My expertise spans mineral exploration, specializing in environmental geochemistry and partial extraction geochemistry across diverse environments. In addition to my academic role, I serve as a Project Coordinator and Technical Specialist for various engineering consultancy services, including advanced project management, budgeting, and project evaluation. Throughout my career, I have engaged in extensive research grants and big data analysis, utilizing geospatial tools such as DGPS and drones for geotechnical engineering and marine impact assessments. My contributions more than 15 research articles and 5 book chapters extend to reputed journals indexed in SCI, SCIE, and SCOPUS, where I am adept in proofreading, drafting, and employing statistical models for rigorous academic work. Currently, I also oversee consultancy projects at Earth Ocean Scrutiny and Project managements at Ocean Square Chennai, leveraging my multifaceted skills in research, project coordination, and technical expertise. I have learned sedimentological analysis, heavy minerals separation, counting, identification, geochemical analysis, micro faunal separation from the sample of coastal sediments. I am good in analytical instrumentation skills and in handling instruments such as Malvern Particle Size Analyzer, Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS), and Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analyzer, Tekran (2537B) Mercury Vapor Analyzer, Dual-frequency MS2B magnetic susceptibility Instrument, Data buoy, Resistivity meter.In addition to my role at the Institute for Ocean Management, Anna University, I am actively involved in underwater drone and robotics R&D, contributing to cutting-edge solutions for geosciences domains. I am willing to put my strong interest in working as a suitable person. I feel that I am a suitable candidate for this position due to my extensive experience in environments and physically demanding roles, and my genuine passion for geology. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this application with you further and look forward to hearing from you.
