He has professional experience of 28 years and worked extensively in different parts of Rajasthan. A broad area of the Mesoproterozoic Delhi Fold Belt of Rajasthan was mapped and explored by Dr. Mukhopadhyay and was responsible for discovery of Proterozoic stratabound multi-metal (CU-Au-Ag) deposits of Nim ka thana Copper Belt and Mundiyawas Khera. He was also instrumental in discovery of Bidasar Ophiolite, located at the contact of Mesoproterozoic Delhi and Neoproterozoic Marwar Supergroup. In recognition for his contributions in Rajasthan geology he was conferred National Geoscience Award (2013) by the President of India. His research interest revolves around base metal mineralisation and at present he is involved in projects related to search of deposits in covered terrains. Dr. Mukhopadhyay conducted IGC 2020 field trip on `Palaeoproterozoic Lead-Zinc-Copper Sulphide Metallogenesis in Aravalli-Delhi Orogenic Belt, South Central Rajasthan’. He published several papers in national and international journals and is Associate Editor of Indian Journal of Geosciences.
