In applied and adaptive opitcs, the broad research areas are singular optics (optical vortex), high numerical aperture focusing, speckle, coherence & Stokes holography and polarization imaging.

Application of optical weak measurement and correlation techniques for interferometry, polarimetry and spectroscopy with applications to space-based imaging and development of highly sensitive optical sensors and metrology tools.

Research is also being carried out on several aspects of classical optics such as wavefront analysis, phase estimation, and application of matrix methods in classical optics.
