His research spans theoretical and applied statistics, including entropy estimation, stochastic orders and aging, inference in restricted parameter spaces, and ranking and selection. He has published extensively in leading international journals, linking statistical theory with applications.

Professor Misra has held major academic leadership roles, including Dean of Academic Affairs (2015–2018), Head of the Department of Mathematics & Statistics (2008–2011), and Chairman of JEE (Advanced) 2014 at IIT Kanpur.
