Biography

"With a post graduate degree in Applied Genetics from Bangalore University and a keen interest in the natural world, I joined Wildlife Institute of India to pursue my research career. My broad research area covers species biology, evolutionary relationship and genetic status of endangered species, especially the higher vertebrata. For my PhD. dissertation I have chosen tiger as my study species. My primary focus is to understand the tiger population structure, connectivity, gene flow based on molecular evidences. I will also try to identify the landscape features which hinder the connectivity in a human dominated landscape using GIS as a tool. Apart from these I also have interest in driving, riding, photography, snake handling and spending time in gym"
