<B><I>Research Experience</I></B></H2>
</CENTER><P>
<I>Over Thirty two years of experience in conducting and guiding 
researches on several aspects of Geophysical modelling 
(Geodynamical/geomagnetic/Hydrogeological) especially those related to 
thermal and mechanical evolution of continental and oceanic 
lithosphere, hydromagnetic waves in the earth's liquid core and 
nonlinear geophysical phenomena. Management of R&amp;D work of CSIR 
Centre for Mathematical Modelling and Computer Simulation (C-MMACS) 
since April 1996. Guiding researches leading to Ph.D. degree. Visited 
Canada, USA, France, Germany and USSR for conducting researches and 
scientific discussions/lectures. Participated in confidential work 
related to CSIR JRF examination. Participated in planning to the new 
CSIR center for mathematical modelling and computer simulation. </I></P>
