	Prasad has done some significant work in the area on non-linear hyperbolic equations. He succeeded in assessing the basic properties of the equations of various physical phenomena, generalized these mathematical properties and then used his theory to explain new results in the field of non-linear waves. He gave a proof of the existence of a new type of wave on the interface of a clear liquid and a mixture in a sedimentation process.<ref name=List>{{cite book\|author1=Sukumar Mallick\|author2=Saguna Dewan\|author3=S C Dhawan\|title=Handbook of Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize Winners(1958 - 1998)\|year=1999\|publisher=Human Rsource Development Group, [[Council of Scientific & Industrial Research]]\|location=New Delhi\|pages=118\|url=http://www.csirhrdg.res.in/ssb.pdf\|access-date=23 June 2013\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304043957/http://www.csirhrdg.res.in/ssb.pdf\|archive-date=4 March 2016\|url-status=dead}}</ref>		Prasad has done some significant work in the area on non-linear hyperbolic equations.
