Greetings from India.I am happy to introduce that i am Dr.Raju, worked as Post Doctoral Fellow under Dr.Philppe Keckhut, CNRS, France during 2007-2008. I did my research on “Rayleigh Lidar Studies of Middle Atmospheric Thermal structure, its climatology and variability over low latitude”. I have four years of experience in operating the Rayleigh lidar at low latitude station Gadanki, INDIA. During post doctoral tenure I attended CAWSES Tidal Workshop at Frediriction, NB,CANADA [August 18-23, 2007] to present CAWSES-III campaign results using french ground based lidars. Prof. W.W.Ward assigned me to work on SABER, GSWM, HAMMONIA Models with all possible lidar stations data around world. But it was not materialized due to lack of funding, I returned India.

Currently i am working as Asst.Prof. in VELS University, Chennai, India. I am regrously waiting for to grab the oppurtunity to re-enter in to the research feild. At present a manuscript "Tidal adjustment to OHP lidar from different models by comparison with satelites" is under preparation. and another paper is ready for its publication.I have expertise in using MATLAB for data analysis and knowledge on FORTRAN & C. I have good theoritical knowledge on basic sciences Physics, Mathematics and Statistics. I am a resposible goal-oriented hard worker with humble charecter and conduct.I am highly interested to work on LIDAR/ Satellite/Insrumentation. I am very much interested to join in your group as early as possible to deleniate deep therotical and experimental work. I am waiting for opportunity. May i know the people can fund me to work on NLC. Further check my CV,list of publications, research experience,a copy of publication kept your perusal.

Thanking you sir,

Yours sincerely

Dr.U.JAYA PRAKASH RAJU
