     I have worked in diverse areas of Physics research essentially guided by what gave pleasure to me. Trained basically as an experimentalist using primarily Mössbauer spectroscopy, I have ventured in theoretical modeling of electric field gradients in hexagonal and tetragonal crystalline systems, development of fast algorithms for evaluating three dimensional lattice summations, simulation of phase transitions in liquid crystals etc. Currently I am back to experimental research in the field of synthesis of nonequilibrium alloys using electrodeposition, of nanoparticles of magnetically ordered oxides such as ferrite and transition metal doped semiconductor oxides, ceramic nanoparticles such as titanates of barium and bismuth, etc. Other areas of my current research activities in condense matter/material science include effect of mechanical working on binary and ternary alloys. Yet another areas of my active research activities is geoscience especially study of Meteorites, extraterrestrial impacts on the earth, and geological extinction boundaries.

     More recently I have worked on nano-structures made by FIB and magnetism in HOPG on heavy ion iirradiation.
