His specialisation includes Process Mineralogy, Mineral processing and skilled R&D experience for base metal & Rare Earth mineral beneficiation feasibility/amenability studies. Optical Microscopy, chemical mineralogy (Metallurgical) with image analysis for granullometric assessment.

Dr Sharma's Process Mineralogy Lab provides a unique granulometric methodology to characterize the ore minerals for optimization of grades, grind and recoveries. Ore microscopic skill in assessment of virgin ores along with X ray diffraction continued into many significant developments in the mineral industry. Evolved model to assess the inherent textural intricacy, liberation component, and evaluation of metallurgical problems all the national base metal and almost all the copper concentrate of the world for the detailed mineralogical assessment. Predictive metallurgy for new ores; troubleshooting for operating plants; petrographic study for gold & silver exploration projects; training courses for mineralogists and metallurgists; Detailed study of sinter (pyrometallurgical) characterization for assessment of textural intricacy.
