My area of research is the history of education in India, encompassing the education of the masses, the education of marginalised and disadvantaged groups, girls’ and women’s education, educational movements, and institutional histories. I have explored the debates on the issue of compulsory and free elementary education in colonial India. I have undertaken an institutional history of Central Hindu College, the predecessor of Banaras Hindu University. Currently, I am working on a monograph based on my Ph.D. thesis.

His Ph.D. thesis is on Scalable and Efficient Concurrent Binary Search Trees (Month and Year: February 2020). In general, devising algorithms for concurrent data structures has been propelled by the need for scalability. Recently, there has been increased traction across the industry towards energy-efficient concurrent data structure designs. In order to construct efficient concurrent data structures and algorithms, they present scalable and energy-efficient concurrent implementations for binary search trees in our thesis. They propose two concurrent search tree implementations: Concurrent Binary Search Tree with Fatnodes (FatCBST) and Concurrent Treaps. They also studied the impact of locking objects in concurrent implementations.

His M.Tech thesis is on Framework for Specification Driven Application Compiler. It generates Java Programs for the typical specification file, written in Web Application Specification Language.

She is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at School of Education in Mahindra University, Hyderabad. Grounded in the discipline of psychology (with a PhD in Psychology from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi) and trained in the area of education, she brings in her understanding of being and self into understanding curriculum and pedagogy. Her previous engagements have centered around designing and implementing educational plans for children and adolescents with special needs, as well as designing bridge curriculum for children rehabilitated from the streets. Her involvement with the Department of Education for Groups with Special Needs at NCERT, New Delhi, to create a handbook for teachers to guide with a reading series for all was an extension of this effort to integrate theory and practice. As part of her doctoral research work she has expanded her knowledge horizons to explore the lived experiences of women and how psychological resilience as a developmental process enriches their selfhood.

Her research areas include psychological resilience, gender and development, ageing, and cultural psychology. She is also keen on working with advanced qualitative research methodologies like phenomenological psychology to understand the spatiality, temporality and corporeality of everyday lived experiences.
