About

Research scientist in biological sciences, pollution & environmental impact assessment, coral and other associated marine biodiversity  conservation.

 

I have been actively involved in the leading research programs such as Marine Biodiversity and Resource Assessment. My involvement in prominent international research program such as Census of Marine Life-CoML (I was Node-manager for Indo-OBIS and Member Steering Committee for CenSeam -Seamount;  CoMARG -Continental Margin; CeDAMaR -Deep-sea Biodiversity); GIBIF, CBoL-DNA Bar-coding); InterRidge; BioNET; ISA -International Seabed Authority; SEATOS - Discovery Channel’s International Tsunami Expedition; INDEEP -International Network for Scientific Investigations of Deep-sea Ecosystems  is significantly high through direct participation in field projects and analysis of global scientific data. This experience will be very practical in managing the National Priority and strategic Research Programs such Antarctic-Arctic research; Deep-sea Explorations, Himalayan and southern Ocean. Moreover, I am also actively involved in various advisory committees’ of States and Central Government to evaluate research and planning projects related to the country’s marine resource management and therefore I am aware of the national requirement in term of food security as well as preserving our national resources.

I have also authored 17 popular science articles in Marathi, Hindi and English mainly to popularize Science.

In addition, I have been actively involved in generating highly skilled and trained Human Resource which I believe is very essential for the country like India which is developing very fast in terms of economy and industry. I have successfully supervised over 65 M.Sc./B.Tech dissertations and 10 Ph.D. students, and presently 07 students are perusing Ph.D. work under my guidance. Some of my students are pursuing higher studies in abroad and some are very well placed both within India and abroad. 

I like to take challenging assignments and explore new horizon/field where I can exert myself to the fullest extent, go out of the comfort zone and apply my intellectual and energy to achieve the desired outcome. Finally, my strength is in utilizing the time judiciously to maximize the quality output. I am fully aware of the fact that scientific/ technical and intellectual efforts are require for achieving excellence in science and higher education.
