About

I am a physicist specializing in Environmental Radiation Monitoring and Environmental Radioactivity, with over four years of research experience in radiation measurement and applied nuclear techniques. I completed my Ph.D. at Sidho-Kanho-Birsha University, where my work focused on gamma and alpha spectrometry and environmental radiochemical analysis.

Currently, I am working as a Project Scientist–B at the Institute of Seismological Research (ISR), where I investigate radon-based earthquake precursors using multi-parametric datasets and data-driven approaches. My work integrates radiation measurements with geophysical observations to identify potential seismic signals.

I am proficient in Python, Origin and ArcGIS for quantitative analysis, modeling and spatial interpretation. My research interests span radiation physics, environmental monitoring and seismology, with a focus on interdisciplinary approaches to environmental and geophysical processes.
