Areas of Research/Study:
My undergraduate thesis explored the urban scape of the and water interface at Varanasi showing my inclination at urban studies at undergraduate level. . My urban design studies in the UK included exploration of the urban realm, social spaces ,and implication of public realm strategies on neighbourhoods and communities. My current PhD topic looks at the relationship between the university and the city and the spatial implications of the university on the city and vice versa. The research is further trying to explore newer spatial university models in India which would benefit the city and also accommodate the exponential rise in student strength in these universities. The research also intends to look at the regional spatial impacts of universities in a city. Apart from my PhD research, my other research interests include impact of ICT on urban design, social network analysis , Placelessness in the Urban Landscape.
