Research themes

Evolution of lithospheric mantle by studying ultramafic-mafic rocks plus chromite, Ni-Cu sulfides and PGE deposits from cratons e.g. Singhbhum, Dharwar, Kaapvaal and Greenland. 

Investigation on genesis of magmatic ore deposits (chromite, Ni-Cu sulfides and PGE) related to ultramafic-mafic rocks.

Tools: igneous petrology, geochemistry and isotopic studies
