(Botany) First The M. S. University of Baroda, Baroda. Pursuing PhD in Botany: Title of the Thesis: “Study on the Coastal Vegetation and Land-Use Changes of the Coastal Talukas of Bharuch District”. Thesis submitted in August, 2015. Research Experience: Junior Research Fellow in the project on “Coastal Zone Studies” sponsored by Space Application Center(SAC); ISRO(Govt. of India) in the Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, The M. S. University of Baroda (June 2007 to December, 2009) Project Details : Worked on the four different components namely Mangrove ecosystem, Land use Land cover changes (LULCC), Shoreline changes and Study of coral reef health. The project mainly includes analysis of Remote sensing data, preparation of thematic maps, field surveys for collection of plants, soil and water samples and accuracy assessment, generation of statistics, submission of reports and presentations. A lab work consists of identification of plants, granulometric analysis of sediments and physicochemical analysis of samples. Junior Research Fellow in the project on “Optical Characterization of Coral Reef Diversity for understanding the Impact of Changing Environmental Conditions (Meteorology & Oceanography Programme – Phase II), sponsored by Space Application Center(SAC); ISRO(Govt. of India) in the Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, The M. S. University of Baroda (April, 2010 to March, 2011) Project Details : Worked on the coral reefs of Gujarat which include the analysis of remote sensing data, mapping ecomorphological zones of the reef, generation of statistics, identification and listing of the corals, sea grass and algae, generation of the relative inundation map, submission of report and presentations. Senior Project Fellow in the project “Development of Bioshield for coastal central Gujarat”. Sponsored by Government of Gujarat. (December, 2011 to October, 2013). Project Details: Worked on mangrove and non-mangrove plants that can be used as bioshied in order to protect the coastline of Bharuch and Surat districts. Mapping of land use land cover was done up to 5 km of the shoreline. Detailed maps were prepared for the proposed sites of biosheild. List of suitable mangrove and non-mangrove plants was generated and their appropriate plantation techniques were suggested in this report. Teaching Experience: Worked as visiting faculty at Environment Science Department, Faculty of Science, The M.S. Univeristy of Baroda, Vadodara (2012-2015). Academic Achievement: First prize for oral presentation at National Seminar on “New Challenges in Remote Sensing Technology with emphasis on microwave data” at Baroda, 2013. Prize in poster presentation at XXVIII INCA International Congress on “Collaborative Mapping and Space Technology” at Gandhinagar, 2008. Publications: Tattu S. , Shah D. G., Desai N., Chauhan H.
