About
I am an ecologist, interested in population ecology, behavior and their conservation applications in multiple-use landscapes. For my PhD (Wildlife Sciences) and post-doctoral studies, I have extensively studied bustards and associated fauna in Indian grasslands and deserts. My current work focuses on spatial prioritization, risk characterization, and conservation management with endangered bustards as the study model.
