Suman Attiwilli

IIT Madras

I’m an ecologist with a range of experience on various environmental projects. For my PhD I studied how different environmental factors shape butterfly ecology, their diversity and distribution. Over time, I’ve shifted to more interdisciplinary work because I believe real conservation means rethinking how society, industry, and the economy function — pushing everything to work for the people and the planet.

Moving forward, I want to use ecological principles and systems thinking to tackle environmental challenges and promote solutions that are both sustainable and socially just. I’m particularly interested in biodiversity conservation, ecological restoration, sustainable food systems, and mitigating climate change.
