Subhashish Dey
Bio
Originally from Assam, in the northeastern corner of India, Subhashish has an academic background in geosciences and a strong interest in sustainable energy and subsurface technologies. Before joining the University of Edinburgh, he completed his MSc in Applied Geosciences at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany, where he was awarded the Deutschlandstipendium for two consecutive years. During his time in Germany, he also gained professional experience through work with companies including GeoMecon and Herrenknecht, giving him exposure to applied geoscience and engineering projects alongside his academic training.
Beyond research, Subhashish has been actively involved in community and social initiatives. He is the founder of Friends For Floods, a volunteer-led initiative created to support communities affected by seasonal flooding in Assam. Through the initiative, he has worked with volunteers across different regions to organise relief and community support activities.
Outside academia, he enjoys travelling, cooking, playing the sitar, and learning about different cultures. He is particularly interested in combining scientific research with work that can create a meaningful impact on communities and society.
