Biography
Right from my childhood I have visited various forests of India and this has imprinted in me an inexplicable connection with wildlife. Pursuing my passion, I landed in the world of Zoology for my undergraduate studies. Subsequently I started harboring interests in the fields of Landscape Ecology, Evolutionary Ecology and Conservation Genetics. After completing MSc in Life Science from Bose Institute, Kolkata I joined WII to pursue my PhD as a DST-INSPIRE Fellow. Currently I am trying to understand the movement biology of Swamp deer in the upper Gangetic plains of Northern India using a combination of radio telemetry, GIS and molecular tools. I am also interested in ecology of some of the elusive small cats of India like Clouded leopard, Pallas’s cat and Asian golden cat including their distributional limits and phylogeography. Besides academic interests, I am fond of trekking, adventure sports and driving.
