Suryanarayanan T. B. joined the research lab as a CSIR Junior Research Fellow (JRF) in 2019 after completing his M.Sc. in Zoology from St. Aloysius College, Elthuruth, Thrissur. His doctoral research focused on the taxonomy of antlions (Myrmeleontidae) and owlflies (Ascalaphidae) of Kerala, contributing valuable insights into the diversity and classification of these insects. He also holds a keen interest in the taxonomy of various other families within the order Neuroptera. He completed his Ph.D. in Zoology in 2025 at the University of Calicut.
