  • Research Statement

    My research is engrossed in exploring the subsurface geological environment, particularly in understanding the tectonic evolution of sedimentary basins (both onshore and offshore). In my research, I primarily rely on active seismic methods (mainly reflection seismic) integrated with borehole logs for interpreting subsurface structures and basin stratigraphy. I use various interpretation techniques to examine the seismic data and pen down logical inferences thoroughly. Apart from using the geophysical tool, the seismic method, I also possess expertise in machine learning workflows used to automate interpreting seismic data. Through my research, I have contributed to designing different new meta-attributes for generating neural models of different geologic structures and associated phenomena, e.g., magmatic bodies, mass flow processes, and fluid upwelling phenomena. I am genuinely fascinated and excited when I gaze at seismic images in my workstation
