Jyoti Verma M.Sc
-Junior Scientific Content Author
Jyoti, as an accomplished researcher in the field of Physics, currently pursuing a PhD from Helmholtz zentrum dresden rossendorf, Germany. She holds a master's degree from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur, having passed the IIT Joint Admission Test. She started her research journey with an internship at the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad, where she investigated ozone variation in the troposphere. Continuing to pursue her passion for atmospheric and physical sciences, they worked as research assistant at Academia Sinica, Taiwan. Her academic excellence is recognized with numerous awards, including the Gargi Award, Indira Priyadarshini Award, and the DST-Inspire Scholarship. Her strong interest in scientific writing led her to contribute as an author to SCIATLAS.
