About

I am currently working as a scientist at the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, Dehradun (India). I received B.Sc. (Hons) from Manipur University, Manipur (India), M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Geology from Panjab University, Chandigarh (India). I also worked as a Research Associate at Panjab University, Chandigarh and Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, Dehradun from 2019 to 2022. My research interest includes systematics, biostratigraphy, paleoecology and taphonomy of Neogene aged small and large fossil mammals of Indian Subcontinent.
