With a firm belief in the field of Architectural Planning and relying on Evidence-Based Design/ Planning, I am currently interested/ involved in the following research domains:
1) Comparative analysis between the movement pattern/ speed of non-disabled and persons with disabilities using a geriatric simulation
2) AI/ VR/ AR/ MR-related studies in the domain of Universal Mobility/ Design
3) Revitalization of old core cities with emphasis on SDGs
4) Regional Planning with a strong focus on contextual factors and focussed demography
5) Heritage Documentation using tools like LiDAR and Drone
