I am an Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies at the Ashoka University. I worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the High Altitudes program at Nature Conservation Foundation. I did my PhD from Centre for Ecological Sciences, Indian Institute of Science with Dr. Kavita Isvaran.

I am interested in understanding the diversity in predator and prey traits and how biological communities interact and are assembled. I use approaches from behavioural, population, and community ecology to answer questions about how animals can show a diverse set of responses to the changing problems around them. I have been interested in carnivore ecology and in using interdisciplinary approaches to understand and manage carnivore and human relationships in the Indian Himalaya.
