My research works focus on subsurface studies using different geophysical techniques (i.e. gravity, magnetic, very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic, electrical resistivity and reflection seismic) to delineate natural resources and/or to understand the crustal configuration. Another aspect of my research work is development of techniques/codes for geophysical data enhancement/interpretation and subsurface modeling using MATLAB. The exact fields of interests are as follows:
- Potential field methods
- Integrated geophysical research
- Mineral exploration and near surface studies
- Tectonic studies
- Geophysical data processing/enhancement
- Modeling and joint inversion
