Biography

Dr. Rupali is currently serving as an Assistant Professor (Grade I) in the Department of Mathematics at Jaypee Institute of Information Technology (JIIT), Noida, India. She earned her Ph.D. in Mathematics from JIIT, Noida with her research focusing on seismic wave dynamics in anisotropic media with complex interface conditions. Prior to her current role, she worked as a Senior Research Fellow on a DRDO-funded project, where she designed computational models to analyze the effects of underground explosions on layered geomedia. During this tenure, she also developed a MATLAB-based application to simulate blast parameters and visualize their impacts.

Research Highlights

Her research focuses on the propagation of seismic waves in different anisotropic, heterogeneous media with interfacial complexity such as imperfect bonding, corrugations, and partial welds. These complexities mimic real Earth structures more accurately and help in understanding the influence of geological layering, anisotropy, and interface irregularities on wave dynamics. 

In addition to seismic wave modeling, She has investigated the dynamics of underground blasts, particularly their interaction with surrounding media. By leveraging advanced mathematical modeling and computational simulations, her work contributes to improving predictive accuracy, optimizing material responses, and developing practical applications in geophysics, defense technology, and civil engineering.
