Deep Joshi

Deep Chandra Joshi was born in June 1992 in India. He earned his Bachelor degree with first class honors in Agricultural Engineering from Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, India in 2014. He completed his Masters’ degree with specialization in Agricultural Systems and Management from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, India in 2016. Meanwhile, in the year 2015, he got prestigious opportunity to complete his Masters’ thesis work in one of the TU9 in Germany as a DAAD masters’ sandwich exchange program. He joined Department of Soil Physics and Soil Science of the Institute of Environmental Sciences at TU Braunschweig. His measured soil hydraulic properties of different soil under the supervision of Prof. Wolfgang Durner. His topic was “Measurement and Modelling of Temperature Dependency of Soil Hydraulic Properties”.

Since October 2017, Deep is a Ph.D. student at the Department of Soil Physics and Soil Science of the Institute of Environmental Sciences at TU Braunschweig as a DAAD fellow. In his Ph.D. work, he will develop a comprehensive measuring and modelling approach to describe the water regime in irrigated and non-irrigated soils.
