I teach animal ecology as an assistant professor. My study focuses on how plant and animal communities respond to their abiotic environment, examining the effects of habitat alterations in multidimensional climate space, in Eastern Himalayan region. I'm also curious to learn more about the extent of species conservation in the interaction between humans and forests. My areas of interest in research are as follows:

1. Theoretical and Applied Ecology

2. Mathematical Ecology

2. Conservation Science
