Hi, I am a postgraduate student, I am interested in understanding the patterns in
Paleoecology and the driving processes. During my MS Project, I tried to understand
the patterns of ecological diversification in Marine invertebrates in the aftermath
of the Permian- Triassic mass extinction and in the advent of Marine Mesozoic
Revolution (MMR). Apart from this, I have keen interest in Conservation
Paleobiology.
When I am not in the lab or fieldwork, you would find me on the Athletics ground, in
the drama room, dance club or sharing my passion for Geology to the general public
in Outreach events.
Work in Paleobiology Lab:
Patterns of Ecospace Utilization in Marine Invertebrates During the Mesozoic
Constructed a multivariate ecospace with functional traits.
Simulated theoretical mesozoic invertebrates’ ecospace according to general models of ecological diversification- Non driven model: neutral model, driven Model: redundancy, partitioning and expansion model, calculated functional diversity metrics to for each models and used machine learning to classify which model best explains the empirical patterns in the Mesozoic. After finding the patterns I tried to correlate with causal processes behind.

Work in Environmental Science:
Explored techniques to detect microplastics in oceans using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy and Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy.
Analyzed methods to develop highly concentrated suspensions of silver nanoparticles.
Used Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry for elemental identification.
Work in Quantum Computation:
Simulated Quantum Bomb Detection using IBM quantum computer.
Designed a quantum circuit for Elitzur and Vaidman Experiment, interaction-free measurement.
