I did my doctoral thesis on unclassified Mesoproterozoic sequences of the Pranhita-Godavari valley bordering the Bastar and East Dharwar cratons of the southern Indian block from Calcutta University. I started working on the problem while I was enjoying a Junior Research Fellowship at Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata and pursued the work after joining the West Bengal Educational Service and earned Ph. D. I joined Presidency University in 2013 after serving in two Government Colleges for nearly twenty four years. 

At present, I am particularly interested in identification and quantification of crustal scale deformation processes associated with discrete tectonic events in fold-thrust belts from Precambrian terrains. I am also interested in microstructural evolution and grain-scale deformation processes in low-to-high grade metamorphic terrains.

My long-term research goals include:

(1) Field-based structural geology and tectonic evolution of Precambrian orogens in India.

(2) Integration of structural geology with palaeomagnetism to solve regional tectonic problems.

(3) Strain analysis and partitioning of strain data for understanding grain-scale deformation processes.

(4) Understanding structural control on mineralization with particular emphasis on iron and uranium.

(5) Tectonostratigraphic evolution of the Himalayan Frontal Fold-Thrust belt
