Ecological research has been one of the most satisfying experiences for me. I have been involved in using state of the art techniques in population monitoring, behavioral study and conflict studies in Western as well as Eastern India. I have been involved in ecological status surveys of large mammals of Western Arunachal Pradesh. My prior work ranges from investigation of socio-economic  drivers  of  environmental  change  to  animal  ecological  studies  in  tropical evergreen forests as well as high altitude Himalayas. My long term interests include understanding movement ecology of mammalian carnivores in Himalayan Ecosystems.

Specialization:

Population Estimation, Human- Wildlife Conflicts, Animal Behavior and Spatial Ecology.
