I hold M.Sc., M.Phil., and Ph.D. degrees in Zoology, and my research has primarily focused on the diversity, ecology, taxonomy, and conservation of beetles and other insect groups in the Himalayan and Trans-Himalayan regions of India. I have published 19 research papers in reputed national and international journals and have presented my work at numerous scientific conferences and seminars. My academic interests include insect diversity, molecular taxonomy, wildlife conservation, environmental sustainability, and biodiversity assessment. Alongside teaching and research, I actively engage in academic administration, curriculum development, student mentoring, and the organization of scientific events aimed at promoting research and science communication.
