Dr. Jyoti Sharma (Scientist-C)

Dr. Jyoti Sharma has been working as a Scientist in the Seismology/Solid Earth Geophysics division of the Institute of Seismological Research (ISR), Gandhinagar, Gujarat since 1st December 2011. She has worked as a Scientist-B from 01/12/2011 to 30/09/2019. Presently, she is working as a Scientist-C, since 01/10/2019. Earlier, she has worked for the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) as a Research Associate under the “National Programme on Earthquake Precursors (NPEP)” and Fugro Geotech Private Limited as a Geophysicist. She has completed her Ph.D. entitled "Imprints of Plume-Lithosphere Interaction Beneath the Northwestern Deccan Volcanic Province from Rayleigh and Love Wave Tomography" in Applied Geophysics from Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad. She did her M.Tech. in Computational Seismology from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur in 2008 and M.Sc. in Physics from Delhi University in 2005. Her research areas include (i) estimation of crustal and upper mantle structure through surface wave tomography, (ii) earthquake source and path characterization from spectral analysis and waveform inversion, (iii) Site amplification studies using HVSR and GINV techniques and (iv) seismic noise characterization and analysis.
