He was previously a Lecturer in the Department of Biological Sciences, IISER, Mohali. For his postdoc, as a Research Associate at the Centre for Ecological Sciences (CES), IISc, he examined how mesocarnivores (jackals, jungle cats, and foxes) make daily movement decisions and reviewed the field of movement ecology and its scope in India. 
Previously, he studied the decisions of an insectivorous bat in a human-modified landscape for my Ph.D. at CES, IISc. Decisions like where the bat goes at night, why it goes there, and how it manages to catch its prey. For more on this, see publications and other articles.
