Current research: 

My research areas are primarily focused on investigating the intriguing process of interplay and integration in the environment-economy sub-system to unravel underlying concerns and suggest appropriate solutions for the well-being of society. Furthermore, I am dedicated to formulating the sectoral decarbonization pathways, aligning with the commitments of the SDG 2030 and the Nationally Determined Contributions of various nations. The solutions based out of my policy analysis have been able to draw attention from relevant academia of eminence at the national and international levels.
