About

I am an interdisciplinary wildlife scientist interested in the dynamics of felids in shared landscapes. For my dissertation, I focus on the behavioral and adaptive responses of tigers and people as this endangered species undergoes recovery in the Terai Arc Landscape of Nepal. I integrate cross-scale methods from both ecology and social science, from geospatial modeling and satellite tracking to individual household surveys. Through disentangling the complexities of human-wildlife relationships, my research aims to promote effective and equitable conservation innovations that contribute to resilient coexistence.
