I use single and multi-collector ICP-MS, electron microprobe (EPMA), optical microscopes, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and as all Earth Scientist do - field work for most of my research activities. My current research projects proves the impact of climate change on high-altitude cryosphere, constrain the response of Surface Earth System to past climate perturbations, application of inorganic tracers in hydrocarbon exploration, as well as source apportionment of airborne particulate matters. My research interest therefore frequently overlaps various Earth Systems such as the solid Earth, hydrosphere, and atmosphere, but I address all of them using the radiogenic and stable isotopes.

Research Interests: The primary aim of my research is to understand the mechanical response (rheology) of composite rock systems in brittle to ductile deformation regimes. In addition, I intend to set a bridge between deformation and metamorphic processes, and explain deep-crustal phenomena, like partial melting and melt migration. The application of my research work covers a range of subjects- structural geology, tectonics, petrology and geodynamics, with a special emphasis on important factors controlling strain localization and deformation mechanisms during tectonic movement of lithospheric plates. The key tools I employ to understand these processes include mostly experimental rock deformations under elevated pressure-temperature conditions and field investigations, coupled with analytical and numerical modelling.

Jillet Sarah Sam (jssam[AT]iitk.ac.in)
PhD (University of Maryland, College Park)
Phone: 0512-259-7975 (O)
Research Interests: I am interested in studying how social groups use new media to identify themselves, and incorporate it in their everyday lives. My dissertation focused on the combination of caste and regional identity for the digital mobilization of Thiyyas. Since then I have started to examine ICT interventions in rural schools in Karnataka. Apart from new media studies I am also interested in studying social geography, and more recently in social and cultural gerontology.

Research Interests: Vertebrate neuronal development
Our goal is to understand the molecular mechanism of how neurons are generated, undergo migration, differentiate and make connections with their appropriate targets. We aim to identify the molecules that regulate these processes in the visual system, the cortex and the hippocampus, using the developing chick and mouse as model systems.

Nitin Gupta (guptan[AT]iitk.ac.in)
PhD (University of California San Diego)
Phone: 0512-259-4384 (O)
Research Interests: The remarkable capabilities organized by the brain from seeing to singing, from remembering to running - originate in the electrical activities of neurons. Neurons interact with each other forming circuits, which process sensory information and drive appropriate behaviors. We are interested in understanding the fundamental mechanisms used by neural circuits for processing information. Our initial focus is on circuits in deeper layers of the olfactory system (sense of smell). We use a variety of insects as model systems, including grasshoppers, flies and mosquitoes, and a variety of techniques, including in vivo electrophysiology, histology, behavioral observations, genetic manipulations, and computational modeling.

Phone: 0512-259-7691 / 7971 (O)
Research Interests: My research interests have been in the area of Biophotonics, attempting to understand tissue fluorescence and light scattering in human tissue environment and to evaluate its use for diagnosis of disease. Recent focus lies in the areas of Fluorescence Mueller matrix imaging and spectroscopy, attenuation free fluorescence based diagnostics which include development of automated device for clinical use, development of fluorescence and photoacoustic diffuse optical tomographic reconstruction algorithms, frequency domain tomography for tissue diagnosis and fluorescence lifetime imaging in the ultrafast regime. Future interests are to explore ways to improve such diagnostic capabilities in order take it towards the desired goal of noninvasive and early detection of disease, specifically cancer.
