He completed his doctoral research at Jodrell Bank in 1970, and has since spent time at the University of Bologna (1970 - 72), Dacorum District Council, Hemel Hempstead, England (1973 - 76, as Housing Research Officer), MPIfR, Bonn (1977 - 80), NRAO, Socorro (1980 - 81), TIFR, Bangalore, India (1981 - 1983), NRAO, Tucson (1983 - 1985), IRAM, Pico Veleta, Spain (1985 - 1987), Jodrell Bank (1987 - 1988), TIFR, Bangalore and Ooty (1988 - 90), and NRAO, Green Bank (1990 - 92). The topics of his current research are:-

1. Continuum mapping of the Galactic Center at 84 GHz.
2. A VLA polarization study of compact-steep spectrum sources.
3. HI-absorption of the radiation from pulsars.
4. The continuum emission from supernova remnants.
5. Neutral-hydrogen contents of a sample of ultra-luminous IR galaxies.
6. Clustering of radio galaxies seen through the galactic plane.
7. The spatial distribution of electron-density fluctuations in the interstellar matter.
