Sonali Chauhan (August 2024 - January 2025)

Sonali joined me in August 2024 as a research associate. She is a science graduate with a Master's in Environment and Development from the School of Human Ecology, Ambedkar University Delhi. She has diverse work experience on projects related to birds, insects, plants, human-wildlife conflict, and climate change. Apart from her research experience, she assisted in teaching and mentoring postgraduate students and simultaneously handled various independent consultancy and mentorship roles.

Aishwarya S Kumar (February 2025 - Present)

Aishwarya joined me as a research intern in January 2025. She is a postgraduate in wildlife science and has an interest in invasive species research and their management. Prior to joining as an intern with Prof. Achyut at Azim Premji University, Bhopal, she interned in Chamba, Himachal Pradesh, where she worked on an ecological restoration project. She is driven by a zest for uncovering strategies for solving the complex relationships people have with nature. When not working, she can be found rummaging through kitchen drawers in search of snacks, reading about gender and social inequalities, or struggling to hit the right musical note.
