Research Interests

My current research deals with physical modeling of macroscopic structures in the extensional regime. The analogue experiments are performed with wet clay and materials like silicone fluids are placed beneath the clay as analogs of salt. My M.S research dealt with modeling fault patterns and connectivities in extensional oblique and lateral ramps. My present PhD research deals with the analog modeling of transfer zones in listric normal fault systems, expecially in the presence of salt substrates. The results of these models are compared to subsurface data from the Gulf of Mexico in the form of 3D seismic surveys and subsurface maps produced from well data. My research interests also include seismic interpretation and structural 3D modeling of large scale structures. I have had previous experience in AMS studies and interpreting magnetic anisotropies in pre-deformed rocks, such as gneisses, in the Piedmont Province of the Southern Appalachians. My M.Sc research in India dealt with establishing the temporal relationship between the Kunavaram Alkaline Complex and the Precambrian Eastern Ghats Granulite Terrain with the aide of structural mapping and microstructural analyses.
