About

I successfully earned my Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering from the Department of Civil Engineering at IIT Roorkee, India, in 2011.My doctoral research focused on the analysis, modeling, and design of well systems in coastal areas. My broad research interests encompass the modeling of aquifer systems, GIS-based spatial mapping, modeling, and visualization, water balance studies, as well as flood and rainfall-runoff modeling. Over the course of my 20-year professional journey, I have gained valuable experience, including 6 years of dedicated full-time GIS professional practice. My expertise extends to programming languages such as C++, proficiency in groundwater flow modeling using MODFLOW, and the application of tools like MatLab, QGIS, ArcGIS, PINN, and ERDAS for comprehensive spatial analysis and modeling.
