Interests
  1. Fractal geometry and randomness in nature, and the problem of "Black Swans" in complex systems.
  2. Education, the issue of employability of youth and the acute shortage of skilled labor in India.
  3. Constructivism (Learning Theory), Active Learning, Problem-based Learning
  4. How language influences learning in bilingual learners and associated domain effect. Percolation of knowledge between language within a learner.
  5. Sustainable means of agriculture: Permaculture, Aquaponics and Hydroponics. Such innovative agricultural techniques are important to counter adverse effect of climate change on food production in future.

Books in preparation
  1. A practical Guide to Advanced Mathematics for Engineers and Physicists.
  2. A New Approach to Pedagogy for Higher Education.
  3. Perception vs. Reality - Implications of scientific facts on the cultural and economic imperatives in India.

Other interests
  1. Photography, drawing, illustrations, and wood-work, martial arts (Karate - GojuRyu), history, philosophy, and politics.
  2. Backpack camping and hiking in woods and mountains.
  3. Learning languages is another activity that I enjoy.
