I have worked as a teacher, researcher and academic administrator in a professional career of 15 years. After joining the Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University, Nanded, Maharashtra, as an assistant professor in the School of Earth Sciences (January 2009 to till date ). Also, I have been worked as a Research Associate in the Department of Environmental Science, University of Pune, India for the period of 2007 – 09. As a research associate,
I was engaged in the departmental research project, research and teaching activities. I have completed master degree in Environmental Science from Department of Environmental Science, University of Pune in the year 2003.
I have carried out my doctoral research on the topic “Assessment
of Groundwater Geochemistry with special reference to impact of intensive agricultural practices from part of Kadava River Basin, District Nashik, Maharashtra.” During my doctoral work, I have performed several field surveys in the study area and laboratory analysis of groundwater and soil samples.
I have research experience in the field of hydrology and published 43 research articles in national and international peer reviewed journals and 5 book
chapters. Also, I have presented my work in 22 national and 2 international conferences/seminars. I am a life member of Indian Science Congress Association, Current science Journal. In addition, throughout my academic carrier, I have delivered several guest lectures, public talks and worked as an expert in science competition at regional and state levels.
Moreover, I have collaborated for research with National and International Universities and Institutions like Savitribai Phule, Pune University, RTM University, Nangpur, Basin Planning, Central Water Commission (CWC), New Delhi, Chang’an University, Yanta Road, Xi’an 710054, Shaanxi, China, Clearwater Group, Tewksbury Avenue, Pt. Richmond, California, USA, Operation Unite, Wings of Morning Drive, Nevada City, California, USA etc., to more focused on current issues in hydrochemistry, groundwater contamination transport, health related risk etc.
