I am studying the multistage interactions (trade-offs) between different stages of Aedes aegypti.
I am studying the spatio-temporal effects of sexual selection on trait allometries in Psammophilus dorsalis.
I am broadly interested in animal behavior and life-history trait evolution. I am working on decision-making and anti-predatory behavior in Psammophilus dorsalis.
I’m broadly interested in animal behavior and ecology and I’m planning to study aspects of these in Psammophilus dorsalis
I am interested in exploring the presence of sexual selection in females, as opposed to the existing body of work for sexual selection in males based around Bateman Gradient, OSR and variation in gametes.
I study vector-borne diseases under a OneHealth approach using Bengaluru as a model city.
My work focuses on the effect of predation on the early life stages of Aedes aegypti. I am looking for the changes in the life history traits and the biochemical reserves across the life stages.
I joined Dr. Kavita Isvaran's lab in 2018. I am currently in charge of the mosquito colony and manage the paper works of the lab.
I am also handling the administration of Dr. Vishwesha Guttal’s lab.
Currently serving as a field assistant at Rishi Valley, Andhra Pradesh, I am actively supporting the research endeavours on Indian Rock Lizards of Dr. Kavita Isavaran's lab at CES, IISc Bengaluru since 2007. Simultaneously, I am contributing to the long-term plant phenology project under the guidance of Dr. Suhel Quader at NCF Bengaluru. My responsibilities involve training new students, meticulous data collection, fieldwork execution, and ensuring the smooth progress of both projects.
