• Researcher / Student - Designed and planned the research framework linking geotechnical and environmental aspects,collected sediment and water samples from different estuarine locations across seasons,conducted geotechnical tests (grain size distribution, permeability, consistency limits),carried out microplastic extraction, classification, and resuspension experiments in the laboratory,analyzed data to study seasonal, sediment-based, and hydrodynamic variations and prepared documentation, drafted the report, and suggested mitigation measures.
• Guide / Supervisor-Provided guidance in formulating research objectives and methodology monitored progress and validated sampling and testing procedures and reviewed results, interpretations, and final conclusions.
• Supporting Faculty / Lab Technicians- Assisted in laboratory experiments and handling specialized equipment,helped ensure accuracy in geotechnical and microplastic analysis,supported in data validation and maintaining lab records.
