I am a post-doctoral researcher in Prof. Max Reuter's and Dr. Aida Andres' groups since September 2022. I combine experimental evolution and computational techniques to characterize and investigate the evolutionary dynamics of sexually antagonistic variation using fruit flies as a model system.

Before joining UCL, I received my Ph.D. in Evolutionary Genetics from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA, where I investigated the co-evolutionary dynamics between the mitochondrial and the nuclear genomes. Prior to that I received my M.S. in Bioinformatics from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune, India, where I developed a statistical model for the evaluation of protein-protein interactions in quaternary protein assemblies. 

I have been a post-doctoral researcher in Seirian Sumner’s lab (CBER) since November 2019. My research focuses on the evolution of social organization.

I investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying what makes a wasp social or not, using a combination of fieldwork, lab work, and bioinformatics. I received my Ph.D. in ant genomics from Queen Mary University of London, after four years of NERC DTP funding.

I have been a post-doctoral researcher in the Global Biodiversity Change group, led by Tim Newbold, since joining CBER  in October 2018. I first worked on the BIOTA project, where we were interested in the interactions between biodiversity, agriculture, and trade. I now work on the GLiTRS project which has a focus on global insect biodiversity change.

Before joining CBER, I completed my PhD at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology where my research focussed on assessing trends in UK species occupancy using biological records and occupancy modelling.
