Research Interest

My research seeks to understand the kinematic evolution and deformational history across the Main Central Thrust zone, a major thrust fault in the Central Himalaya, Nepal. The objective of my work is essentially focused on the observation of microstructures, quartz fabric analysis, P-T modelling and geochronology.
