Statistical Methods for Data Analysis (Probability and Statistics, Sampling Theory, Statistical Inference and Estimation), Predictive Analytics (Regression Analysis, Forecasting), Operations Research, Data Visualization

My research spans both methodological and applied analytics. I have developed advanced statistical models for ecological applications and also conducted applied studies on lifestyle, health, and wellbeing. I am particularly interested in extending predictive analytics and statistical modeling techniques to diverse applied domains, including health, business, and environmental sciences
