My research interests are to understand the crustal architecture and tectonic & geodynamic evolution of the continental margin of India. I have a keen interest to understand the mantle plume's role in the evolution of the continental margins of India. My work is mostly related to the research associated with the plume-ridge interaction, tectonics, geodynamics, and large igneous province. I have worked on the offshore extension of flood basalt (equivalent to Deccan Trap) in the Arabian Sea. Currently, I am working in the shallow seismic division and associated with research related to the delineation of unconventional energy sources like Coal Bed Methane (CBM) and Shale gas on the Indian subcontinent.
