I have worked in the areas mentioned below:
 
Reliability Theory/ Theory of Stochastic Orders and Applications:
 
 In the field of reliability engineering and survival analysis studying the reliability characteristics of coherent systems play an
important role. To enhance the reliability characteristics of a system, redundant (spares) components are provided to its
components. In reliability theory and its applications the problem of where and how to allocate these redundant components is
considered in order to optimize the lifetime or reliability notions of the system. We have used the theory of stochastic orders in
order to study the reliability notions of some important models in Reliability Theory. In this area we published many research papers in reputed journals.
 
Goodness of Fit tests for survival data:

In the fields of life sciences and reliability studies, where investigations
are conducted with great accuracy, the adverse outcomes resulting from incorrect distributional
assumptions are accompanied by significant implications. Hence considerable discussion in the
literature by many different authors has focused on goodness-of-fit of distributions. Therefore
the statistical tests for goodness-of-fit are useful due to its real-life applications. In this area
our papers has been published in journal Mathematica Slovaca and some papers are under review.
 
Study of Information measures:

We study various extropy and entropy measures to characterize symmetric
and characterize  various distributions, and to construct statistical tests. We introduces new measures
and estimators, applies them to ranked set sampling and simple random sampling
, and examines their properties and stochastic orders. We also proposes
new tests for symmetry, uniformity and exponentiality etc., demonstrating their applicability through real data
analysis and simulation studies.  In this area
our papers has been published in journal Mathematica Slovaca, Statistics, Statistical Papers etc. and some papers are under review.
