This week I listened to the episode “ Breathing the air in Lebanon: E-cigarettes, water pipes, and beyond” featuring Prof. What are you reading or listening to at the moment ? Sunita Narin, Director General of the Centre for Science and Environment, New Delhi.

In addition to research skills, I’ve learned how to respond to people despite a hectic schedule, how to be approachable, and how to avoid procrastinating on work. The questions he highlighted throughout our research discussions influenced the way I thought and approached my research questions. Varghese is a pioneer in the field of Environmental Forensics. Varghese, my PhD supervisor, is someone I like and look up to. Is there a researcher you admire (dead or alive) that you would like to work with or meet?ĭr. Why did you decide to become an Advisor?įor the simple reason that more people should be familiar with such an easy to use and time saving referencing tool. It was actually a life-changing decision. Not only did it make referencing easier, but it also saved so much time. After getting familiar with Mendeley, there was no looking back.
What were you using prior to Mendeley?īefore getting introduced to Mendeley, I was using the very difficult and tedious referencing method in Microsoft Word. I was first introduced to Mendeley by professor Dr. That is the kind of environment I thrive in. It was one place where I was disconnected from the other world and it was me, the instruments and my research. Often, days turned into nights and I often lost track of time while working. days, I would spend most of my time in the lab, carrying out my research. The Environment Engineering Laboratory at NIT Calicut is one such place. Where do you work the best? What kind of environment suits you? Working with CPR’s scholars, who are from the world’s finest universities, is a truly rewarding experience. I preferred working with the organization because CPR has been a consistent voice in the public discourse regarding the air pollution situation in Delhi. I was interested in working with Delhi’s air quality crisis. What attracted you to working at the Centre for Policy Research? Later, for my Ph.D., I went on to study the challenging discourse of air pollution and gained expertise in exposure assessment, human health risk assessment, and air pollution science. For both my undergraduate and master’s thesis, I studied the invasive and beneficial characteristics of water hyacinth. The paradox that the level of water is increasing, but we do not have water that we can consume, is hard-hitting. Chandran, raised a question that stuck with me forever: “How to control the water hyacinth invasion in water bodies in Madurai.” It was then that I realized I wanted to work for the environment and especially pollution.
How did you become interested in your field?ĭuring my undergraduate study, my professor, Dr. in Environmental Engineering Technology from National Institute of Technology Calicut, a Post Graduate Diploma in Environmental Law from the National Law School of India University, Bangalore, a Masters in Environmental Engineering and Management and an undergraduate degree in Civil Engineering from Thiagarajar College of Engineering. Abinaya Sekar, a Senior Research Associate at India’s Centre for Policy Research in New Delhi, visiting faculty at School of Planning and Architecture Delhi, and a Mendeley Advisor since 2021.Ībinaya’s research focuses on policy related to air quality and human health. Mendeley Advisors can be found not only in university settings but also at research institutes, government departments, and working in private industry.
