The more defective you are, the brighter you shine-learnings from crystals.
Defects are not flaws; they are nature’s way of preserving the past in a crystal’s glow
Research Interests
- Luminescence physics in natural minerals and its applications in dosimetry and geochronology.
- Luminescence dating methods for burial, exposure, thermochronometric, and provenance studies.
- ESR spectroscopy and defect dynamics in geological materials.
- Crystal defect evolution under geological processes.
- Spectroscopy, modelling, and computational approaches in Earth sciences.
- Earth surface processes and landscape evolution.
Current Research
- Luminescence and Electron Spin Resonance studies of natural crystals
- Understanding the changes in crystal defects under different scenarios using various spectroscopic techniques
Previous Research
- Multispectral luminescence studies: explored different spectral regions of feldspar for their athermal stability
- Reported a new signal named post violet Infrared (pVIR) with nearly zero athermal fading
- Developed a new dating protocol for feldspar (pVIR-SAR)
- Application of the pVIR-SAR protocol for fine and coarse polymineral samples from various depositional environments
- Application of luminescence dating for geological and archaeological sites
- Luminescence rock surface expsoure dating for glacially polished samples
