Ms. Jyoti Sharma ( Scientist - B )

Ms. Jyoti Sharma has been working as a Scientist B in Institute of Seismological Research (ISR) since December, 2011. Earlier, she has also 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 and performed various geophysical tests. She did her M.Tech. in Computational Seismology from IIT Kharagpur in 2008 and M.Sc. in Physics from Delhi University in 2005. Presently she is pursuing her Ph.D. from IIT Dhanbad (earlier ISM Dhanbad) on “Surface Wave Tomography for Gujarat Region”. Her research areas include (i) Surface wave tomography, (ii) Source and Path characteristics using spectral analysis of Strong Motion Accelerograph (SMA) and Broadband Data, (iii) Site amplification studies using HVSR and GINV techniques and (iv) Moment Tensor Inversion for Earthquake Source Characteristics.
