About Me: I work on various aspects of engineering geology, geotechniques and experimental geology, paleoseismology, morphotectonics with special reference to development of engineering structures for settlements, enhance economy, exploration and extraction of energy resources, water resources, and safety from natural hazards, and climate change. My research is focused to understand the response of geoground and geomaterials under various kinds of imposed natural and anthropogenic stresses in variable surrounding conditions in space and time. I has proposed some alternative methods for fatigue analysis, en-echelon crack arrays theory and the effective limit of structural anisotropy and developed concept of inherent damage factor. Presently my research interest towards landslides, geotechnical characterization of strata under variable temperature, pressure fluid and surround conditions in space and time.

Research Interest: Research Interest: Engineering Geology, Geomechanics, Geotechniques, Seismology, Waste disposal, Geotechnical Reservoir Characterization.
