Areas of Research/Study:

With a basic qualification of civil engineering and specialisation in Environmental Planning, I have interest in developing my knowledge in the area of environmental infrastructure planning. Crucial urban infrastructural services such as water supply, sanitation and drainage are called as environmental infrastructure. My focus will be on planning of these infrastructural services and to assess, how will it help in reducing the carbon footprint of large and small settlements.
