Group Members



(from top-left-to-bottom-right) Navneet Srivastava, Rinku Mahanta, Rajat, Rahul, Vipul Silwal, Nivika Singh, Adarsh Dwivedi

1. Rinku Mahanta (PhD student)
Rinku is working on seismic moment tensor inversion in Uttarakhand region. He is using and developing python packages (mtuq) of moment tensor estimation and their uncertainty analysis. He is also investigating the effect of structure and receiver configuration on estimated parameters.

2. Rahul (PhD student)
Rahul is working on investigating the effect of topography on propagating wavefield. He is using ISRO cartoDEM for fine resolution topography and finite-element package SPECFEM3D for wavefield simulation.

3. Nivika Singh (PhD student)
Nivika is working towards systematic analysis of global earthquake location catalog. She will further develop waveform based earthquake location algorithms.

4. Adarsh Dwivedi (Research Associate)
Adarsh is working towards working preparing adjoint kernels and finite-frequency based imaging of Himalayan crust.

5. Navneet Srivastava (Technical Assistant)
Navneet plays a crucial role in software and hardware installation, maintenance and development.
