EGU General Assembly, May 2026, in Vienna, Austria

Presenting my research work at the EGU General Assembly 2026 in May 2026. The work focused on inferring the interseismic plate coupling along parts of the Himalayan megathrust using GNSS and InSAR observations

Invited talk in the Department of Earth and Climate Sciences (ECS) at IISER Tirupati in February 2026

Geological Field/Mine Visit trip with the second year M.Sc. Applied Geology (2024–26) students

August 2025: Started my professional life. Joined as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geology at the Central University of Tamil Nadu, India

July 2025: Shared my experience with the newly joined and soon-to-be-graduated PhD students of the Department of Earth Sciences, IITB, on postdoc and scholarship opportunities available during/post PhD as part of the weekly research talk program

Last Few days as a postdoc at IITB. One last dinner with the labmates and my postdoc advisor, Prof. G. Srinivasa Rao (on the left)

March 2025: Explaining the use of GNSS/GPS to young aspiring geoscience students as part of the PROTOLITH event in the Department of Earth Sciences, IITB

April 2025: One-day visit with the Geophysics Master's students to the Indian Institute of Geomagnetism observatory in Alibag, Maharashtra.

Last few days at UNM, Albuquerque: with my Postdoc advisor, Eric Lindsey. Hosted a dinner party at his residence celebrating the completion of two years of the Fulbright-Nehru Postdoctoral Program

February 2025: Joining as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay

GNSS-Acoustic transponders ready to be deployed to study slow-slip motions along the Cascadia subduction zone. Photo taken during the Apply-to-Sail research cruise expedition in Cascadia in July 2023

Wave gliders. They act as a source that sends acoustic signals received by the GNSS-A transponders on the ocean floor to estimate the position. Photo taken during the Apply-to-Sail research cruise expedition in Cascadia in July 2023

ROV-Jason is on its way to be submerged to acquire and maintain the instruments installed on the Pacific Ocean floor (Part of the Apply-to-Sail research cruise)

ROV-Jason is literally holding a broom in its hand and cleaning an ocean bottom monument 

Installing a survey mode GNSS station in collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory to study the deformation along the Valles caldera. Photo taken during a field survey in October 2022

A walk inside the Valles caldera to install a GNSS receiver at our next location. The Valles caldera is the largest in New Mexico, which last erupted around 68,000 years ago. Photo taken during a field survey in October 2022

Sunset somewhere in the North Pacific captured from the research vessel R/V Thomas G. Thompson as a part of the Apply-to-Sail research cruise expedition in Cascadia in July 2023

Trying my hands to operate the ROV-Jason. It went well with a smooth flight and landing 😀
