Sedimentological Analysis:

o Logging, log interpretation, mapping (lithological, structural, sedimentary facies, elemental and, isotope).

o Process-based reconstruction of depositional environments, and tracking and tracing of paleo-geographic shifts under sequence stratigraphic backdrop. o Studied basin dynamics using field, and Nd isotope data. o Characterization of mid-Proterozoic sediment-biota interaction and environmental significance.

Geochemical and Geochronological analysis:

o Sm-Nd geochronology and geochemical characterization of basin hosted magmatic suits. Postdoctoral research experiences:
