I am an ecologist researching predator-prey interactions in natural populations. I am currently a faculty at GITAM, Visakhapatnam. Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Vishwesha Guttal at the Indian Institute of Science and before that, I worked with Prof. Dror Hawlena at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. I did my PhD with Prof. Rohini Balakrishnan at the Centre for Ecological Sciences in Indian Institute of Science.
