Two of my current interests in applications involve public health problems and environmental or ecological statistics. I have also begun new work on ecological data on Western Ghats in India, which is one of the world's leading hot spots for biodiversity.In addition to the above major areas, I have worked on many other problems. Some of these are briefly listed: characterization, multiple decision theory, survey sampling, model selection, mixtures, Neyman-Scott problems, U-statistics, Bahadur representation of quantile. Many of the papers in the above areas solve long standing open problems or pioneer new areas, and have been cited often.
