Areas of Research<\/strong><\/br>Post war American Fiction, Science-in-theatre and Film Studies
\n

Research Focus<\/strong><\/br>Postwar American literature, in particular the works of the American writer, Don DeLillo is one of my research areas. I also work in the field of Science-in-theatre which addresses the long standing debate about arts-science confluence. The scientist-cum- literary figures, Carl Djeraasi and Roald Hoffmann’s contribution to this field is noteworthy. Film studies, in particular the works of Charles Chaplin, is a field I am currently exploring in-depth.
