I was a Wenner-Gren Postdoctoral Fellow with Dr Peter A. Lind at the Lind Lab for Predicting Evolution at Umeå University in Sweden. I pursued my PhD in Evolutionary Biology under the guidance of Prof. Sutirth Dey at the Population Biology Lab (PBL) at IISER Pune. I was also a postdoc for a brief period at PBL IISER Pune. Prior to my PhD, I pursued an Integrated Master’s degree in Biotechnology from the Institute of Bioinformatics and Biotechnology (IBB) in Pune.
