About
I am a teacher by profession, an entomologist and taxonomist by training. My primary interests are in ecology, wildlife conservation, Evolution and animal behaviour. I am pursuing my PhD in Odonatology from University of Calcutta and my specialization is in larval taxonomy and ecology of Indian Odonates. I used to be a research fellow in Zoological Survey of India and worked in different places of Central and Eastern Indian landscapes. Presently I am working on compilation of Larval taxonomic data of Indian Odonates and would love to collaborate in this context. You can email ([email protected]) me to know more.
