I am a botanist with a strong interest in grass taxonomy, particularly the morphology of grass seed caryopses. I have documented grass diversity across southern Tamil Nadu, with a broader research interest in plant diversity and biodiversity conservation. I have documented plant diversity across diverse landscapes, including the semi-arid regions of southern Tamil Nadu, the Tamiraparani River and its associated riparian habitats, and various wetlands across Tamil Nadu.

My current work focuses on forest restoration and biodiversity monitoring in abandoned tea estates within the Kalakad–Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve (KMTR), Tamil Nadu. My work includes documenting avian communities, conducting camera-trap-based wildlife monitoring, and assessing water quality to better understand biodiversity patterns and ecological recovery in restoration landscapes.
