Dr. Alok Kumar did his M.Sc. in Geology from Banaras Hindu university, Varanasi in 2004 after completion of his masters he joined PRL, Ahmedabad in 2005 as a research scholar in the field of isotope hydrology and subsequently he worked on geochemical and isotopic studies on samples derived Mud volcano and Barren Island volcano, Andaman for his doctoral thesis. He joined Geological survey of India in December 2012 as a Geologist and served more than 5 years in different regions in India. In January 2018, he joined Banaras Hindu university as an Assistant professor and working till now. Presently he is engage in teaching and research in the field of geochemistry and Isotope geology in the department.
