Dr. Vedanta Adak is a Geologist with a Ph.D. in Geology, specializing in thermodynamic and numerical modeling of metamorphic rocks, thin section petrography, and field geology. Proficient in advanced mineralogical techniques like EPMA, SEM, and Raman spectroscopy, his work at CPHR focuses on petrology and geochemistry to explore the potential of enhanced rock weathering (ERW) through both modeling and experimental approaches. He also contributes to policy solutions that support the study and adoption of ERW technologies. A naturally curious problem-solver, Vedanta enjoys photography, programming, music, traveling, and spending time with friends in his leisure hours.
