KUNWAR MRITYUNJAI SHARMA

I am an experienced PhD researcher with a demonstrated history of working in the areas of Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology. Currently, I am working on a project, funded by the Swedish Radioactive Authority, to study the safety assessment of a planned nuclear waste repository in Forsmark, Sweden, using hydrogeological modeling.
