I primarily work on the acquisition, processing and the interpretation of the potential field data, integrated multi-scale geopotential field modelling, flexural isostasy and basin modelling with implications to structure and evolution. My main focus is on the lithosphere structure and rheology, continental rift-drift processes through crustal architecture, plume-lithosphere interactions along the passive continental margins, and lithosphere deformation and dynamics plate subduction at the active continental margins.

 Research Interest

• Structure, tectonics and basin evolution studies of passive margin basins through integrated interpretation of geophysical data (gravity, magnetic and seismic) with special reference to petroleum exploration
• Gravity and magnetic data acquisition and interpretation for crustal evolution of the Indian Shield region
• Basin modeling with special reference to rift tectonics and rheology based on the subsidence analysis and gravity data
