Dr. Khadri has been nominated as the research team leader to lead a group of reputed research scientists from US and Switzerland for the proposed international field trip programme during 9th to 22nd December 2013. This project is of international scientific importance and has garnered worldwide interest, which outlines the rational and importance of this scientific investigation for the international advancement of science on one of the most important problems “the role of volcanism in mass extinctions” and the high visibility role that both collaborating institutions can play in solving this problem. This international research collaboration makes it critical for further research as it will certainly benefit the on-going research and development activities of the department and University. Successfully established International research collaboration with Princeton University, USA, MIT, USA and Lausanne University, Switzerland and conducted a series of field trips as the Team Leader for the International Team of Scientists for 20 days each for the last 12 years from 2010 to 2022. Based on the international collaborative research, published one detailed research paper entitled “U-Pb geochronology of the Deccan Traps and relation to the end-Cretaceous Mass Extinction” in SCIENCE with Impact Factor 37.205 in 15th January 2015.
