I am passionate about wild flora particularly in ecosystem across the biodiverse Western Ghats of India. My goal as an ecologist has been to understand how disturbances shape plant communities and how plant traits can help infer functional processes. I aim to use these understandings to works towards restoring degraded landscapes in India. In case I haven’t said it enough, I love wild flora.
