  • I have varied research interests in Theoretical/Mathematical Statistics. Although I primarily work in the areas of Theoretical/Mathematical Statistics, some of the research methodologies proposed by me and my co-workers have found interesting applications in molecular sciences and engineering. My current research interests can be classified into following five broad areas :

  • Entropy Estimation

  • Applied Probability

  • Theory of Stochastic Orders and Its Applications

  • Estimation in Restricted Parametric Space

  • Ranking and Selection Problems and Related Estimation Problems
