Arnab Sain
Assistant Professor
About-
I worked on the structure and Geochemistry of A-type granites and associated metasedimentary and metavolcanic country rocks. In the future, I want to continue my research on structural geology with special emphasis on field structure with instrumental analysis like EBSD, associated with geochemistry and geochronology.
