Online Oil Spill Advisory (OOSA) System

• ·         Established Operational oil spill  advisory system for Indian Ocean which is used nationwide by Indian Coast Guard (ICG), officials of Ports & harbors, Maritime boards, Navy, shipping industry and other marine environmental stake holders.
• ·         Advised Indian Coast Guard, oil spill responders, and neighboring countries (Mauritius, Maldives, Srilanka) on 30 spill events.
• ·         Performed three-dimensional hydrodynamic coastal modeling using MIKE 3
• ·         Conducted field experiments using Surface Velocity Program drifter to validate the model surface currents. Conducted rice husk drift prediction in collaboration with Offshore industries
• ·         Conducted consultancy project in accessing the probable impact of the oil spill at Tarapur atomic power station, Maharashtra
• ·         Participated, presented, and published full research articles in national and international conferences (India and abroad).
• ·         Taught several sessions in oil spill modeling and trained the officials of ICG. Guided many post-graduate students at several universities for their thesis dissertation.
• ·         Published 14 research papers/reports in peer-reviewed journals and international conferences as Lead Author. https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=v7EXv5IAAAAJ&hl=en
