Research Scientist / Manager, NMT Seismological Observatory, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology
Member, Seismology Keiiti Aki Young Scientist Award Committee
I am a seismologist with research interests in induced seismicity studies and seismic tomography. Currently, I am working on induced seismicity template matching of south eastern New Mexico. I also have more than three years of oil and gas industry experience working mainly on real time micro/passive seismic monitoring and induced seismicity. I am originally from India and currently live in Socorro NM
