- Structural Geology & Tectonics
- Experimental Rock Deformation & Rock Physics
- Rheology, Microstructure & Texture Analysis
- Dynamics of subduction interface: from earthquakes to partial melting.
(Swarnajayanti Fellowship, DST, 2017-2021)
This project aims to provide a new insight of the complex and transient rheological phenomena, that facilitates the rheological-transition, and to recognize the critical geological factors that control the catastrophic rupture dynamics, fluid flow and resultant physical properties. The hypothesis to be tested is “the plate-interface slip-mechanisms are functions of several parameters, which are multiply-connected, naturally-tuned and operate in micro-scale.
- Enhanced CBM recovery and CO2 sequestration
(Pan IIT-ONGC Research Grant, 2017-2020)
This proposal is designed to explore and quantify the enhanced CH4 (Unconventional Energy Resource, UER) recovery from Indian coal-basins and gas-rich-shale and tight-sediment reservoirs by studying the stress induced micro-mechanisms to maximize the gas flow under complex Thermal-Hydrological-Mechanical environment coupled with CO2 injection.
- Seismic-aseismic transitions of active faults in Himalaya
(Early Career Research Award, DST, 2017-2020)
The Himalaya, being one of the most dynamic regions on the Earth, display several geological features including variety of faults. Most the faults in Himalaya, exposed at various sections along the strike of the orogeny, are predicted to be active and have potential in generating earthquakes M > 4 or represent signature of past earthquakes. This project with consider three sets of faults exposed in Himalaya, from west to east, with an aim to develop a data set for frictional sliding and explore the strain response to the release of stress in the context of rate-and-state friction laws.
- Tectono- metamorphic evolution of Naga-Hill Ophiolite sequence
(Initiation Grant, IIT Kanpur, 2016-2018)
This research proposal aims to study the mechanical and thermal evolution of the Indo-Burma ophiolite bearing suture zone, a geological feature that preserves the history of the colliding Indian plate with Eurasia. The ophiolites exposed in this region are transported as nappe over the Paleogene flyschoid sediments and represent a significant shear displacement. The study area will cover mostly Nagaland, Manipur and Andaman Islands. The key questions in this proposal are mostly related to the sequence of thermo-mechanical conditions during and after the collision with a special focus on grain scale localization processes.

Integrated geophysical study in the east geothermal province, Eastern Ghats Belt, Odisha, India: an insight into the geothermal system and tectonic setup.
Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India, 2015-2020.Brief Outline: The proposed integrated geophysical study will provide a better understanding of the subsurface configuration of hot springs region in Odisha. It will help to decipher the probable heat source, fluid flow path, depth and lateral extension. Beside delineation of geothermal prospect of the proposed region, this geophysical investigation will also give better understanding of the basement configuration and tectonic setting of the region. This will ultimately provide significant input towards the knowledge of growth and evolution of this region.

Integrated geophysical study for delineating detail subsurface structures and possible mineral deposits around Madawara region, Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB), Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, 2016-2020.Brief Outline: This study provides a better understanding of the tectonic evolution and geological history of the proposed region besides delineating the probable depth and dimension of the target PGE/base metal/chromite mineralization zones. Thus, the present work may open up new prospective areas for PGE/base metal/chromite exploration in the country.

Innovative methods for geophysical data analysis, modelling and application to field data.
IIT Kanpur (Initiation Grant), 2015-2017.Brief Outline: In this work, a hybrid approach based on wavelet filtering and bi-dimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) has been proposed for effective regional-residual separation of potential field data. Another aspect of this work is the development of a low frequency impedance reconstruction method from band limited seismic reflection data and first principles. This reconstructed low frequency impedance model can act as an initial model for more refined modelling schemes.
