Mr. Sujit Das
SRF ,UGC
Mr.Das working on taxonomy of nematodes found in mangrove ecosyetems of BoB. He studies secondary metabolites from mangrove ecosystems to better understand their ecological roles, contributing to effective conservation, control, and management strategies within mangrove habitats.
Ms. Jhumpa Majhi
SRF , UGC
Miss Majhi working on the taxonomy of nemerteans (ribbon worms), involving the identification, classification, and morphological study of these marine invertebrates. Through detailed analysis, she contributes to a better understanding of their diversity, systematics, and ecological significance in coastal ecosystems .
Mr.Debkumar Sahoo
Research Scholar
Mr.Sahoo focuses on marine phytoplankton, particularly their diversity, distribution, and ecological roles in coastal ecosystems. He studies their contribution to primary productivity, nutrient cycling, and their response to environmental changes ..
Mr. Sourav Bar
SRF ,UGC
Mr.Bar studies the presence, identification, and effects of microplastics in environmental samples. His work contributes to understanding emerging environmental challenges and supports efforts toward ecological conservation and sustainability
Mr. Prabad Pratim pal
Research Scholar
Mr.Pal studioes on marine brachiopods, exploring their taxonomy, morphology, and ecological significance in marine environments. He contributes to a better understanding of these lesser-known benthic organisms and their role in marine biodiversity and evolutionary history.
Ms. Sriparna Jana
Research Scholar
Miss Jana focuses on Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies), exploring their diversity, life cycle, and ecological role in wetland ecosystems. She also identify different stress factors on the flies and how the factors effect on its diversity.
