I have expertise in computational geophysics, geotechnical engineering, applied mathematics, and high-performance computing. I was an associate research scholar and a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Geosciences, Princeton University, US. I received a PhD in geophysics from the University of Oslo and NORSAR, Norway, and an MSc in earthquake engineering from the University of Tokyo, Japan. I hold a B.E. in civil engineering and an I.E. in mechanical engineering both with the Distinction from the Tribhuvan University, Nepal.
Research Interests/Current Research
My research area encompasses applied mathematics and computational (geo)mechanics, including (an)elastic-gravitational wave propagation, coseismic deformation and post-earthquake relaxation, glacial isostatic adjustment, gravity/magnetic anomalies, microearthquakes; and hexahedral meshing and scientific visualization. I have (co)developed a number of software packages to solve the problems in those areas.
