I have broad research interests that span understanding causes and consequences of variation in life history strategies and biotic interactions. Through my research I strive to improve our ability to predict how these strategies and interactions are likely to shift with change in an organism's biotic and/or abiotic environment. I use a combination of field observations and experiments, lab experiments, and a range of quantitative tools including statistical and mathematical modelling. I am increasingly interested in scaling-up my research to studying species at larger spatial and/or temporal scales, and understanding responses of organisms to rising temperature. My current research is focussed on understanding the migration of Danainae butterflies in peninsular India and the effect of rising temperatures on the life cycle of butterflies.
My PhD was in Biological Sciences with specialization in Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour at the School of Biological Sciences, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA, in Dr Brigitte Tenhumberg's lab. Prior to that, I completed my Master's program in Wildlife Biology and Conservation, Wildlife Conservation Society – India Program at the National Center for Biological Sciences, India under the guidance of Dr Kavita Isvaran. |
