Biography

I did my Masters in Environmental Studies from University of Delhi, where I worked on “Acoustic diversity of dawn and roosting chorus of birds in an urban landscape”. Thereafter I joined Wildlife Institute of India for my Doctoral research, where I would be working on the “Acoustic partitioning among co-occurring birds and other organisms”. I would be primarily looking into how co-occurring birds and other organisms use the same acoustic space for their effective communication, thus establishing co-existence among themselves. Apart from research work, I have interest in paintings, composing nature poetry and travelling.
