Current Members

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. Nivika Singh (PhD student)
Nivika is working towards development for systematic approach and database for detection and classification of cryoseismic events in Himalayan glaciers. These cryoseismic events are related to glacier slip an

3. Pankaj Lahon
Pankaj is working on moment tensor inversion using 3D velocity models. He is using NABDEM for fine resolution (30m) topography and finite-element package SPECFEM3D for wavefield simulation.

4. Manoj T.M. (Project Associate)
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.

5. Gaurav Kumar (Post Doc)
Gaurv is working on preparing high-resolution 3D reference model for central Himalayas for tomographic imaging

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