About Me.
I am a plant ecologist with bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Botany from the University of Calcutta. I work in the domain of biological invasion, one of the main components of global change, with one simple question: how do some species become community-dominant when they are introduced outside their native range?
I am associated with Azim Premji University (Bhopal campus) as an Assistant Professor.
I am a voracious reader of historical nonfiction, and I love photographing the natural world (with a bias for flower and macro photography).
