Biography
"I completed my Masters in Biotechnology from IFTM University, Moradabad in 2013. My master’s dissertation from Jamia Millia Islamia introduced me to the field of molecular phylogenetics. My career in wildlife research started as I volunteered in the All India Tiger Monitoring project. Later, I joined Wildlife Institute of India as a Junior Research Fellow in a project investigating the Phylogenetic Status of North-East Sambar Populations. My broad research interests include Evolutionary genetics, Molecular Systematics and Conservation Biology. Currently, I am working as a Senior Research Fellow and my doctoral research focuses on studying the Molecular Systematics of Sambar (Rusa unicolor) in India to understand its phylogenetic structure. Also, I want to contribute in the development of molecular techniques for the conservation of critically endangered species which are at the brink of extinction. Apart from academics, travelling to less trodden places is another passion of mine."
