    Research Interests

    Urban modelling, GIS applications, Smart city, Building automation, Parametric design, and Architectural visualisation

    DOCTORAL RESEARCH

    Thesis Title: An Algorithmic Framework for Surface Modelling of Population Concentration and Distribution.

    The thesis is an attempt to develop a modelling framework to predict population density distribution in a fine grid of 30m x 30m with the help of a set of parameters pertaining to infrastructure, natural and geographic features.

    POST GRADUATE RESEARCH (MCP)

    Thesis Title: A Behavioural Model for Passenger Trip Prediction in Dynamic Urban Scenario: A case study of Calicut.

    The research was an attempt to develop a model to predict number of passengers willing to travel at any given time in the city based on the behavioural aspects of the population. The model makes the predictions by modelling different classes of people and activity schedules for individuals.
