My research objective is to understand the neo-tectonic evolution of the Darjeeling-Sikkim Himalayas from sub-surface to surface scale. I have extensively used the Sandbox Analogue Modelling and FEMR techniques to understand the area's kinematic evolution, thrust nucleation and propagation, and duplex formation. Currently, I am exploring the possibilities to use FEMR as a landslide Early Warning System.  

My research goal is to understand the Plumbing mechanism of the Deccan dykes with special reference to Pachmarhi dyke swarms. To achieve this I will be applying Anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) and Palaeomagnetic techniques for understanding the emplacement process of Pachmarhi dykes.

My research objective is to understand the emplacement of Pune-Nasik dykes from the AMS and Palaeomagnetic studies.

My research interest basically includes Permeability analysis and Modelling of Jharia Coal bed methane field.

My area of interest lies in assessing kerogen type, organic matter richness, and maturation to determine the potential within the organic material of coal and shale to generate liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons. My research also focuses on the chemical transformations of shale in response to hydrocarbon generation. I am interested in investigating organo-inorganic controls on pore morphology with particular emphasis on the gas genesis, storage and flow mechanism in CBM and shale gas reservoirs.
