Dr. Simontini Sensarma did her M.Sc. in Applied Geology from Presidency College under University of Calcutta, India and Ph.D. from CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography (NIO), registered in Jadavpur University, India. Dr. Sensarma worked as an Assistant Professor in Dhempe College of Arts & Science, Goa for a brief time before joining back NIO as a Research Associate. In 2019, she joined Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore as a C.V. Raman Postdoctoral Fellow before joining as an Assistant Professor (Geology) at the School of Earth, Ocean and Climate Sciences at Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar in 2022. Dr. Sensarma has participated in many national and international conference and workshops and was part of scientific cruises in the Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal on board R.V. Sindhu Sadhana.
