About me

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Anderson Lab at the Center for Genomic Science Innovation, University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Previously, I completed my PhD from the  Population Biology Lab at IISER Pune.

I am currently working on the quantitative genetics and evolution of pathogenesis in the common human fungal pathobiont, Candida albicans.

During my PhD, I worked on the ecology and evolution of dispersal, using microcosm experiments with the common fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster . In addition, I used numerical and agent-based simulations to address questions related to population dynamics, coevolution, and cultural evolution.

My research articles can be found on the publications page, along with their full-text pdfs (for personal academic use).
