Research Interest:

My areas of expertise include Ore Petrology, Structural Geology, Geochemistry and Geochronology. The research is focused on tectono-stratigraphic and geochronological evolution of Precambrian Terrain as well as much younger Phanerozoic terrains. Mainly the petrological and structural study followed by geochemical and geochronological characterization of the rocks. My interests on geochemistry, structural geology, and tectonics helps me to understand problems of Precambrian to phanerozoic geology in a holistic manner.
