He has been working with fiber reinforced composites and concrete systems, polymer nanocomposites (especially graphene based nanocomposites), synthetic and natural fibers, modification of fibers using physical and chemical routes, non-destructive testing of composite materials using thermography and acoustics, sustainable approaches in textile chemistry - design and process modifications leading to water and energy savings, color science and technological interventions in handloom sector. Part of his Phd work was using polypropylene filaments in single polymer composites. He was the Principal Investigator of a project sponsored by GAIL, Government of India, on development of high impact structures from single-polymer composites from HDPE. The project was successfully executed and has been selected amongst very few projects which would be funded for second stage of execution jointly with Indian Institute of Packaging, Government of India in developing prototypes. He has also worked on all-cellulose composites systems. Presently part of research groups working on extreme weather protection clothing and impact-studies in composites funded by Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO), Government of India.
