I am a member of the PI’s lab, currently pursuing my PhD from Florida International University (https://www.fiu.edu/). I started off as an amateur naturalist with a great fascination for butterflies and moths. I am presently working on understanding the switch between nocturnality and diurnality, and the accompanying evolution of the visual system in Bombycoidea moths. I am a member of Titli Trust, an NGO in India and assist in conducting conservation and education related activities, and I believe that science-based conservation is a priority.
