Iftikhar Ahmad
He obtained M.Sc. degree from the Hans Raj College, University of Delhi, Delhi. He did his M.Sc. project on the Paleoproterozoic carbonate rocks of the Bijawar Group, Madhya Pradesh (India) under the supervision of Prof. Partha Pratim Chakraborty. Further, he went to the Department of Geology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh for pursuing doctoral research (Ph.D.) under the guidance of Prof. M.E.A. Mondal (National Geoscience Awardee). In his doctoral research, he worked on the Precambrian basement rocks of the Aravalli Craton (NW India) that span in age from Paleoarchean to Paleoproterozoic. After completing Ph.D., he joined the Physical Research Laboratory (Unit of Department of Space, ISRO, Government of India), Ahmedabad as a Post-Doctoral Fellow under Prof. J.S. Ray (currently Director of National Centre for Earth Science Studies, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India).
He has published his research findings in reputed journals including Geoscience Frontiers, Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, Geological Society London, Springer-Nature, etc. Currently, he is engaged in teaching and research in the capacity of Assistant Professor at the Department of Geology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. Through his research he looks forward to understanding the processes responsible for the formation and evolution of the Earth's continental crust vis-a-vis evolution of the mantle and plate tectonics.

Present work attempts to reconcile various geological attributes of both the BGC-I and the BGC-II and their corresponding lithologies to compare, assess and ascertain whether or not the two domains of the BGC are same. In this endeavour, it is observed that the domains do not bear similar geological history of genesis and evolution. To account for the geological heterogeneity and geochronological age for the corresponding lithologies of both the BGC-I and the BGC-II, it is surmised that the two domains formed and evolved independently which were later accreted and amalgamated to form a single domain.
