Biography
S. A. Rashid is currently working as Associate Professor in the Department of Geology, AMU, Aligarh for the last 14 years and teaching mainly Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology and Geochemistry. After completion of Ph.D. on Geochemistry of Proterozoic Granites from Kullu-Rampur Window, Himachal Pradesh, NW Lesser Himalaya, presently I am focusing on Geochemistry of Sedimentary rocks from the Himalaya. On this theme I have carried out 04 Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India sponsored Research Schemes and presently one such scheme on Geochemistry of Permo-Carboniferous sedimentary rocks from Spiti area, Himachal Pradesh, Tethys Himalaya is in progress. I have published 25 Research Papers in peer reviewed National and International Journals such as Journal Geological Society of India, Current Science, Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, Gondwana Research etc. I have also attended many National and International conferences abroad and presented Research Papers in countries such as England, Japan, France, Germany, Switzerland. I am the member of International Geochemical Society, USA, International Society for Sedimentary Geology (SEPM), USA, Life Member Geological Society of India, Bangalore. I have been elected as Associate Fellow, Andhra Pradesh Academy of Sciences, Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh. 3 Students have already completed Ph.D. degrees and 06 students are currently perusing doctoral thesis under my supervision.
