Sandeep has been working as an assistant professor in the Department of Geophysics, Banaras Hindu University (BHU) since 2016. His research interests include simulating strong ground motions, Site estimations and Earthquake Early Warnings. He is a lead or co-author of 32 journal articles in international peer-reviewed journals. Sandeep has also contributed to the scientific community as a reviewer of many research articles and projects.  Sandeep is a recipient of many prestigious awards including Order of Merit Award (Young Scientists) by Indian Society of Earthquake Science (ISES), J.G. Negi Young Scientist award by Indian Geophysical Union and SERB-SIRE fellowship by DST, GoI for his significant contributions in the field of seismology. 


Parveen Kumar currently works as a scientist at the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, Dehradun, India. Earlier, he was awarded a post-doctoral fellow position sponsored by the University Grants Commission, India. He collaborated internationally in research with the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics, Hanover, Germany. During his career, he has worked and is still working, on several sponsored and consultancy projects. His research interests include strong motion seismology, earthquake hazard evaluation, geohazard assessment such as landslide and avalanche hazards, and earthquake source studies.  He has published over 37 research papers in SCI-indexed journals and supervised several Ph.D. and Master's degree students.
