As someone with a background in Structural Geology, I've had the opportunity to learn about many different aspects of Petroleum Geology during my time at Shell. I'm particularly interested in exploring a range of geodynamic and reservoir-related problems, including the processes involved in magma emplacement, active tectonics, geophysics (with a focus on EM), and the various natural hazards that can impact these systems. Recently, I've also been delving into the field of coal bed methane and CO2 storage (CCS), and I'm excited to see where this work takes me in the future.

My research objective is to understand the emplacement of Pune-Nasik dykes from the AMS and Palaeomagnetic studies.

(Dem 2023 - Present)

I’m working on Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) modelling of coal seams with an emphasis on quantifying and calibrating permeability for enhanced Coal Bed Methane (CBM) extraction and CO₂ sequestration by integrates seismic attributes and structural data.

I am working on Malwa Plateau, composed mainly of Deccan basalt, holds potential for CO₂ sequestration through mineral carbonation. Its porous, reactive rocks can securely store CO₂ by forming stable carbonates, making it a promising site for carbon capture and storage (CCS) research.
