His primary scientific interests are in Geochemistry, Felsic, Mafic, Volcanic rock and Craton.
His work carried out in the field of Geochemistry brings together such families of science as Adakite and Dharwar Craton.
His studies deal with areas such as Archean and Terrane as well as Dharwar Craton.
His Felsic study which covers Lithosphere that intersects with Geochronology and Shear zone.
The Craton study which covers Mantle that intersects with Oceanic crust and Hotspot.
His Oceanic crust study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Greenstone belt and Mantle wedge.
