Experience & Education
Work Experience
Research Intern — Groundwater Division (EHG Group), CSIR-NGRI
May 2023 – June 2023 | Hyderabad, India
- Interpreted electrical resistivity and heliborne geophysical datasets to delineate subsurface fracture zones for aquifer characterisation.
- Correlated geological, structural, and geophysical data for aquifer behaviour assessment and contributed to a structured evaluation report.
