I am Doctoral Candidate 07 in POSEIDON, working at Norwegian Geotechnical Institute and OsloMet in Oslo.
My masters degree is from TIFR Center for Applicable Mathematics.
My PhD project is a smooth extension of my previous work in shear shallow water equations. Getting my hands dirty in mathematics and programming is fun for me, and that’s what made me interested in this position! It allows me to bring my training in mathematics to a practical application like landslide–tsunami dynamics.
What is it like to be a part of POSEIDON?
POSEIDON offers a unique PhD. We have training schools and workshops tailored to our needs and requirements, encouragement (and resources) to travel to conferences and present our projects, networking events to keep in touch with each other, support among DCs within the network that allows us to focus on our research better, being part of a team made of experts, secondments that expose us to new places, people, and opportunities, and a mobility grant that gives all of us the chance to live and work in a different country.
Working within this group of inspiring peers, all aligned towards a common goal (improving offshore wind infrastructure resilience, in our case) is highly motivating as well! I am grateful to have been offered this chance, and enjoy it every day!
What do you hope to accomplish through your PhD?
Apart from achieving the goals of my project, I hope to learn all that I can from my supervisors and colleagues to become an independent researcher. I appreciate that one of the goals of MSCA DNs is to train the future experts, and I want to live up to that expectation as best as I can. I also look forward to making life-long friends out of my fellow DCs in POSEIDON, establishing a network of experts!
