Amit Tiwari

About

I have completed both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Geology from Banaras Hindu University and currently pursuing a PhD in Geology at the same institution, focusing on Vanadium mineralization. My research interests lie in the fascinating intersections of biomineralization, Precambrian life and the early signatures of life on Earth. My doctoral research explores the potential of biological processes in facilitating economic-scale Vanadium mineralization and their use as proxies for tracing the signatures of early life forms on our planet.
