Bio: Dr. Arun Kumar Ojha is a Scientist at the CSIR-National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI), Hyderabad, India. Before joining CSIR-NGRI, Dr. Ojha was a Research Fellow at the Research School of Earth Sciences (RSES), Australian National University (ANU), Canberra, Australia from 2019 to 2020. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee), India. In his Ph.D. Dr. Ojha extensively studied the Himalayan shear zones to understand the evolution of the Himalaya. He holds a master's degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee and a bachelor’s degree from North Orissa University, Odisha, both in geology. Dr. Ojha's research interests lie primarily in the Structural and tectonic evolution of Himalaya, Plate tectonics, Fault zone analysis, and understanding the fluid-stress-lithology interplay in shear zones. His research has both fundamental and applied aspects including sustainable groundwater exploration, orogenesis, and metallogeny. He has published many research articles in reputed international journals and conferences. Dr. Ojha is a recipient of several prestigious national and International fellowships and awards.

1) Post-graduate students interested in pursuing Ph.D. with a junior research fellowship (CSIR/UGC) or from DST under the Inspire program are encouraged to contact me!
(2) For summer/winter intern and dissertations, students are also encouraged to contact me!
(Research is not a job but a dream that demands critical thinking and self-motivation. So, I strongly encourage students who are passionate about research. I insist students to follow their dream and not to do Ph.D. for temporary financial support.)
I am a rock whisperer, fascinated by the structures in rocks formed in response to the tectonic processes, and used them as a proxy to dive dip into the time of the deformation and tectonic history.
