Biography

Dr. Rajat Mazumder is an Associate Professor, Geological Studies Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata India. Currently, I am a Post Doctoral Research Associate in the School of Biology, Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.He taught both undergraduate and graduate students. I like teaching geology to the undergraduate students, particularly, to the beginners, even to high school students. To me, teaching geology is challenging and fun! I highlight the connecting links between various disciplines of geology and integrate available information to get a comprehensive picture of earth evolutionary history.
