Current research:

To investigate the evolution of the Indian monsoon of the early Pliocene–early Pleistocene of the Bay of Bengal (BoB)/ Andaman Sea (AS) region. My research focuses on using proxies such as foraminifer stable isotope, XRF, and benthic foraminifer assemblage to understand the linkage between Indiansian monsoon and intensification of NortheHemisphere Glaciation (iNHG), to figure out the dominant orbital frequency during Pliocene period.
