Arijit Laik

Versatile Computational Geoscientist | Modeller

I am a Geoscientist specializing in numerical and data modeling, simulation, analysis, and geospatial applications.

I am adept in transforming complex data into actionable insights and thrive on tackling fresh challenges. With a robust background in programming and geosciences, I am committed to addressing complex issues in data-informed decision-making, climate change, energy transition, and sustainability.

Currently wraping up my Ph.D. at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, where i delved into the dynamics of subduction and collision zones using advanced numerical simulations.

Additionally, I serve as a freelance consultant for artists and performance makers, offering creative and specialized expertise in science consultancy and science communication.
