Area of Specialization & Interest:

I am always intrigued by the might of the mountains and my passion drove me eventually to the study of active orogenic belts: HIMALAYA. 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.

• Terrain constraint trace element thermometry: Applications and Limitations.
• Petrological and provenance modelling of sedimentary basin and mineralization.
• Various microstructural, petrological, geochemical and geochronological studies of lesser Himalayan crystalline belt.
• Analytical techniques involving EPMA
