Supervisor: Asmita Sengupta

My research focuses on human–wildlife interactions and the possibilities for coexistence between people and nature. Over the years, I’ve engaged with a range of ecological and social themes, including invasive species, ethnobotany, and human–wildlife conflict. My current work allows me to explore the complex and evolving relationships between humans and wild animals in a rapidly changing world. Beyond research, I am passionate about science communication and outreach. I also write across genres, from popular science articles to poems and short stories, using storytelling as a tool to bridge science and society
