During his doctorate at the University of East Anglia, he researched the ‘hydropolitics’ of the Himalayas using case studies of large reservoirs on transboundary rivers. Using a mixed-methods approach, he demonstrated how the Indian ‘hydrocracy’ securitised the governance of transboundary rivers. He also highlighted the inadequacies of international water law in addressing the hegemony of some states on shared rivers. His research was at the intersection of environmental security and international law. He has conducted fieldwork in India and Nepal. He has used Q Methodology to statistically capture human subjectivity during this research. His findings have been published in leading journals.
