Please fill in the ESR positions (up to three) you would like to apply for:
I’m interested in the following positions:

1. ESR 7 - Integration of Health Impact Assessment (HIA), sustainability appraisal and environmental
impact evaluations with development planning emphasizing the role of Human Biomonitoring in ex-
ante HIA (Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana (SI)

2. ESR 9 – Development of multimedia environmental contamination and human exposure model
(Universitat Rovira I Virgili, Tarragona (ES)

3. ESR 8 - Targeted in vitro analysis associated to neurodevelopmental disorders, focusing on
organic environmental compounds (University of Paris Descartes, Paris (FR)

Personal Statement (max 1000 words)
I am a qualified, dedicated and experienced researcher, specializing in qualitative and quantitative
research methodologies and wish to apply for 1) “integration of Health Impact Assessment (HIA),
sustainability appraisal and environmental impact evaluations with development planning
emphasizing the role of Human Biomonitoring in ex-ante HIA” at Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana,
Slovenia 2) Development of multimedia environmental contamination and human exposure model
(Universitat Rovira I Virgili, Tarragona (ES) and 3) Targeted in vitro analysis associated to
neurodevelopmental disorders, focusing on organic environmental compounds (University of Paris
Descartes, Paris (FR) . My adept education related to the medical sciences and research
methodologies, and work experience, related to conducting the various research projects
independently, gives me the confidence to apply for the above position. These education and work
experiences were explained below.

I have a strong academic grounding in international aid, research and project management, having
completed a Bachelors of Ayurvedic Medicine and Sciences and a MSc in Risk and Emergency
Management from IUSS University, Italy and MSc in Disaster Management from Tata Institute of
Social Sciences, Mumbai, India. The medical knowledge will help me to understand the project
context properly and hence increase my understanding of the project aims.

My most recent research project was ‘Post-Emergency, Multi-Hazard Health Risk Assessment in
Chemical Disasters (PEC)’ under which, a) I have modelled the dispersion of toxic compounds in South
Italy using Aloha, R and Integra software, b) wrote policy draft about the chemical safety in Europe,
c) prepared the health risk prioritization matrix etc.

My time in Thane Collector Office, India has helped me to gain an experienced about conceiving,
planning, implementing, evaluating and reporting on research based programs: Hazard Vulnerability
assessment focusing more on health systems (6-month duration), ways to resilient the city (6-month
duration), Health Impact system and disaster resiliency (6 month duration), strengthening of the
 Health Impact systems to curb the environmental disasters (6 month duration) etc. In all mentioned
and undertaken projects, I have collected and analysed in SPSS software using chi-square test, PCA,
etc. and wrote the technical chapters. These research projects, directly or indirectly, were focused
on the environmental disasters and specifically on Health Impact assessment system i.e. mainly on
monitoring phase. The role of Health Impact systems in environmental disasters were focused and
not only, policies were drafted but, same, included into development plan of the state government.
This experience has given me an opportunity to learn and implement the research methodologies,
and research activities overall.

The the job in Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, India, has given me the more research and
program management experience adding to the previous research experience. I have conducted
research projects such as, current status of Health Impact system in municipal and government
hospitals (3 month), capacity of hospitals to respond to Health Impact hazard (4 month), etc. This
experience has given me the team management, intra-cultural experiences.

While working as Research Officer at Tata Institute of Social Sciences, India, under “Vidarbha Baseline
Survey” project (2 ½ years), I have conducted this research more or less independently. This includes
the preparing the questionnaires, deciding the research methodologies, sampling, writing technical
reports etc. Beside this, I have actually responded to the Health Impact hazard called “leptospirosis”
in Kalyan district. I have planned response and managed the resources at hospitals. These all above
stated experiences in different jobs has given me enough confidence and ability to conduct the
research projects independently.

The PhD in “integration of Health Impact Assessment (HIA), sustainability appraisal and
environmental impact evaluations with development planning emphasizing the role of Human Bio-
monitoring in ex-ante HIA” at Jožef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia, will help me to fill the existing
knowledge - gaps which may really reduce the health risks related to environmental disasters and
create the resilient communities. This knowledge to fill this gaps, will give me necessary sets of skills
to work exactly on the field and transfer this knowledge into solid actions. In this way, I will be in far
better position to reduce the human lives loss in any disasters, which is also in-line with my personal
values, which is to serve people.

After the successful completion of PhD, I would like to take, at least, 1 year of experience in abroad
and then return back to India. I completely believe, that, taking some experience abroad is required
because it will give me, the confidence and hands-on experience on field which will largely help me
in implementing this knowledge in India.
