Thank you for visiting my webpage.
I am a final-year PhD candidate in the Department of Earth Sciences at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. My research focuses on paleomagnetism, rock magnetism, and impact cratering, with particular emphasis on the magnetic and paleomagnetic characterization of terrestrial impact structures.
My doctoral work investigates impactites and target rocks from the Dhala impact structure, India, aiming to understand how shock processes modify magnetic minerals and remanent magnetization. These studies provide insights into the magnetic signatures of impact events and their broader implications for planetary magnetic field evolution.
I combine field-based geological investigations with laboratory rock-magnetic and paleomagnetic measurements and quantitative data analysis to explore how magnetic minerals record impact processes and planetary evolution.
