Dr. Talat Ahmad to take over as new VC of Kashmir University
Prof. Ahmad has over 60 research publications to his credit. He has supervised several M. Phil and Ph. D. research studies at the University of Delhi and the Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia.
DR. TALAT Ahmad, Professor, Department of Geology, University of Delhi, who has been appointed as the new Vice Chancellor of the University of Kashmir, is expected to take charge of his new assignment early next week. It would be recalled that Professor Riyaz Punjabi, the present Vice Chancellor, had completed his tenure on 6th January, 2011 and was, since then, awaiting the appointment of his successor.
Dr. Talat Ahmad has the rather exceptional distinction of being a Fellow of all the Science Academies of the Country: the Indian National Science Academy (FNA), New Delhi; the Indian Academy of Sciences, (FASc); and the National Academy of Sciences, (FNASc).
Dr. Ahmad did his Masters in Geology from the Aligarh Muslim University, M. Phil (in Ore Petrology-Geochemistry) and Doctorate (in the field of Igneous Petrology-Geochemistry) from the Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. Dr. Ahmad has also been a Post Doctoral Fellow with three foreign Universities viz. University of Leicester, UK, under the Government of India Fellowship; University of Cambridge under NERC Fellowship and the Nagoya University, Japan.
Dr. Ahmad began his career as a Jr. Geologist with the Geological Survey of India (GSI) and, subsequently, worked at the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, Dehra Dun, as a Scientist for over nineteen years (1984-2003). He has been serving as Professor at the Department of Geology, University of Delhi, since October 2003.
