I did my bachelor’s from Jadavpur University in 2021. Following this I pursued my master’s from IIT Bhubaneswar, India, and graduated in 2023. During my master’s dissertation, I worked jointly with NISER Bhubaneswar, India, primarily focusing on understanding the physical conditions related to the petrogenesis of Archean K-granites and crustal stabilization. I focussed on constraining the petrogenetic processes, pressure temperature constraints, and phase assemblages and phase reactions associated with the formation of the K-granites. Through this work, I gained exposure to petrological modelling (e.g., melting, element partitioning), phase equilibria modelling, and how to approach complex problems in the field of high-T petrology-geochemistry.
Currently at Curtin University, I am working in close association with Prof. Chris Clark and Prof. Ian Fitzsimons on an ARC-funded project – ‘Lifting the lid on supercontinent’, focusing on amalgamation of Gondwana. My field areas comprise Southern India, low-high grade metamorphic complexes of Sri Lanka, and parts of Madagascar and Antarctica. The project will investigate the tectonic and geochronological evolution of different terranes which ultimately lead to the formation and collapse of the supercontinents. The whole aim of this research is to fill up the gaps primarily in association with the Eastern Gondwana and come up with more refined and plausible plate tectonic models.
