About
I am an Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Zoology at R. R. Lalan Government College, Bhuj, Gujarat, actively engaged in scientific research since 2006. Specializing in marine and coastal ecology, taxonomy, and field zoology, my research focuses on intertidal benthic communities, coastal wetland dynamics, trace element distribution in marine sediments, and multi-taxa biodiversity assessments across fragile coastal ecosystems. In addition to directing higher-education zoology curricula and mentoring students in field sampling and laboratory methodologies, I contribute to peer-reviewed literature on regional faunal records, ecosystem dynamics, and marine conservation frameworks.
