About

I am a doctoral researcher at Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE), Bangalore. I work on edible and therapeutic insects of Northeast India. I am specialised in entomology. My primary research interests lie in the areas of behavioural ecology and biotic interactions and conservation biology of insects. Outside work, I am interested in cooking, planting, and fabric designing.
