Research Publications
The following list is of my research publications, which I update (last update: 27 July 2017). Wherever possible, I have included copies in PDF format. Some, however, are either book chapters or works-in-progress where digital copies are not available or not permissible for download online. If you’d like a copy, please contact me via email with details of where you’re working from (Designation/Faculty/Institution) and I’ll send you a copy.
