About

I am a wildlife scientist interested in the ecology and conservation of felids within socio-ecological systems. My dissertation focuses on the impacts of road development on Bengal tigers in the Terai Arc Landscape of Nepal. I plan to utilize research methods from both ecology and social science, from satellite tracking of tiger movement and spatial modeling to participatory study design and holistic system analysis. My research aims to contribute strategies to mitigate the impacts of development on wildlife as well as promote the role of indigenous and local partnerships in effective and equitable conservation.
