Professor (Dr) Sandeep N Kundu has over 20 years of experience in Exploration Geoscience industry, education and research. He is a British Council Fellow and has a double master degree in Applied Geology and Geographical Information Systems (GIS).He has managed Geoscience Projects (Mineral & Petroleum Exploration, Geospatial Database and Marine Geotechnical) during his tenure at Reliance Industries Limited, BHP Billiton and Fugro. In his early career, he had been a scientific researcher at FSU, Jena and IFGI, Muenster in Germany, IIT-ISM, Dhanbad, IIT Kanpur and at Utkal University, Bhubaneswar where he completed his PhD in Geology. From 2014 until 2021, he ran the Petroleum Minor program at the Department of Geography and taught Exploration Geoscience for the IFP-PPOT program at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at National University of Singapore, Singapore. Dr. Kundu, who now is a Professor in Geology at Ravenshaw University, teaches Sedimentary Geology, Petroleum Geosciences and has deep research interests in the application of GIS, Remote Sensing and Data Science applications in Geosciences.
