Research

My research interest includes landslide susceptibility zonation, multi hazard integration, earthquake site conditions, ground penetrating radar (GPR) and seismic slope stability.  Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, seismically induced landslide hazard analyses and influence of strong ground motions on local site conditions are some of my research thrust areas.
