Biography:
I’ve joined in Dr Sinu’s lab for Ph.D in 2013. My topic of interest are behavioural ecology of insects and species interactions. Currently I’m working on behavioural manipulation in host-parasite interactions. My main questions concern about the behavioural, biochemical and immunological changes induced by the parasite in its host during different stages of prasitisation.
At present, I work as a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Zoological Survey of India.
