Research

Monitoring atmospheric parameters, particulate matter (PM2.5), and greenhouse gases in the Kathmandu Valley.

Empirical thermal performance data for passive solar and vernacular buildings at high altitude in Nepal. The Crystal Mountain School dataset is the first of its kind.

Machine learning tools for automated analysis of environmental time-series data. Published openly for use by any institution globally.

Design, local manufacture, and field deployment of Nepal's first cosmic ray muon detector. Systematic altitude-gradient measurements from Terai (~150m) to Himalayan passes above 5,000m. Applications in atmospheric monitoring, glacier research, and educational resources.

Systematic measurement of cosmic ray muon flux across Nepal's altitude gradient — 60 m to 5,000+ m — using custom scintillator-SiPM detectors.

Dense MEMS seismometer networks across the Kathmandu Valley. Subsurface imaging, site response characterisation, and earthquake early warning feasibility.

Monitoring of Himalayan glaciers relevant to regional water security. Muon tomography for non-invasive ice-bedrock imaging, black carbon deposition measurement, and glacier mass balance studies — contributing to GLOF risk assessment.

Nepal's contribution to the Global Meteor Network. All-sky camera observations, fireball trajectory triangulation, and spectroscopy from Himalayan altitudes.

Systematic documentation of indigenous astronomical and environmental knowledge, cross-validated with instrument data, with communities as co-owners of results.
