Biography

I am Lok Bijaya Adhikari from Nepal. I am working as chief of the National Seismological Center of Nepal under the Department of Mines and Geology. I am working in the center and studying. In the 2015 April 25th Gorkha Earthquake of magnitude Mw 7.8 stroke the central part of Nepal claiming about 9000 lives and destroying about 8,00,000 houses in and around the rupture zone. I have managed that seismic crisis as the chief of the Center. I have completed my master in geology and I am continuing my Thesis at IPGP studying the aftershock sequence of the devastating earthquake. I will study seismotectonic and seismicity related to that earthquake with Professor at IPGP Frederic Perrier as a Supervisor and scientist at Strasbourg University Jerome Verne as a co-supervisor. The topic of my thesis is “Seismicity associated with the April 25, 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal: Probing the Himalayan Seismic Cycle”. Recently I with my colleagues have published a research paper on December issue of Geophysical Journal International about the aftershock sequence of Gorkha earthquake 25 April 2015. Similarly following are the list of some scientific papers I as an author and co-author.
