I am a population ecologist, involved in long-term ecological research on large carnivores in the semi-arid western Indian landscape since 2010. I have monitored tigers using radio telemetry, camera traps, & ground tracking to study their demography, dispersal ecology, & interactions with co-predators. I am involved in the development of CaTRAT – an AI-based software designed to segregate species from camera trap images. I coordinated Western Ghats & Rajasthan landscapes for the field survey & analyses for the countrywide tiger estimation exercise (AITE).
