  • 15 years of research experience in Animal Taxonomy and Biodiversity studies; 12 years of Post-Graduate teaching experience.
  • At present, our team, is working on molecular characterization of freshwater fishes of Odisha with particular emphasis on sheatfishes (family: Siluridae) of Odisha. This work is funded by the Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of Odisha.
  • We are also working on morpho-taxonomy, molecular systematics, and understanding the life cycle of the parasitic isopods of the family Cymothoidae found along the Northern part of the East Coast of India and the Chilika lagoon. This work is funded by the Science & Engineering Research Board (SERB), Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India
