I work mainly on occupational health and safety of persons employed in mines and mineral industry. Industrial noise and human response to Whole-body and Hand-arm vibration are my major areas of research. I also work on Noise Control Engineering, Noise Mapping, Blast-induced ground and structural vibration in mining complexes.
