Profile
Dr. Tanushree is an accomplished environmental scientist with a remarkable educational journey and a keen dedication to advancing resource management and societal development. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Life Science from Ramjas College, Delhi University, where she excelled academically. Building on this foundation, she pursued her Master's and MPhil in Environmental Science at Central University of Gujarat, achieving exemplary grades. Her academic journey includes a significant milestone in completion of a Ph.D.
During her doctorate, Dr. Tanushree conducted groundbreaking research focused on understanding and addressing critical issues related to water resources management. Her doctoral work involved a comprehensive investigation into various aspects of hydrological processes, with a particular emphasis on groundwater dynamics, recharge mechanisms, and sustainability in semi-arid regions. She employed advanced hydrological modeling techniques, coupled with remote sensing and GIS technologies, to analyze complex interactions between surface water and groundwater systems. Her research aimed to develop innovative strategies for enhancing water resource availability and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions and anthropogenic pressures.
Her academic excellence has been further acknowledged through prestigious awards, including recognition for qualifying the National Eligibility Test for Lectureship and Junior Research Fellowship from Department of Science and Technology. She has also been granted a Short-term Doctoral Fellowship from Indian Council of Social Sciences Research, New Delhi for her work to the betterment of society. Her research experience encompasses a wide range of topics, from groundwater vulnerability assessment to nanotechnology applications in environmental remediation. Skilled in various scientific instruments and proficient in geospatial software and hydrological modeling tools makes her a valuable asset as Assistant Professor in KKIASR. Additionally, she has contributed to the scholarly literature with four research articles, one book chapter, and one editorial in the field of Environmental Sciences.
