He has co-authored many research papers in refereed journals and conference proceedings.

His path breaking discovery known as Brooks-Iyengar algorithm discovered in 1996 is a milestone in his career. This discovery has led to breakthrough in use of sensors in various applications across the globe. By adopting this algorithm, it was possible to use network of sensors which would give out precise outputs, though few of the sensors receive wrong inputs or faulty sensors. This algorithm is relevant even today and has received prestigious “Test of Time” award for its contribution over the decade by IEEE Congress in the year 2019.

He has been awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to the field of Digital Forensics on November 8, 2022, during the 7th INTERPOL DIGITAL FORENSICS EXPERT GROUP (DFEG) MEETING at National Forensics Sciences University, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India.
