I received my PhD degree, in Zoology, from Alagappa University, Karaikudi, India, where I studied the ecosystem services of bat communities in terms of pollination and seed dispersal in India (2010-2016). Thereafter, I obtained a postdoctoral fellowship from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Mohali (2017-2019), where I worked on the chemical aspects of seed dispersal by fruit bats. From March 2019 to May 2022, I worked in the Ecology and Evolution of Plant-Animal Interaction Group headed by Prof. Chen Jin at Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG), Chinese Academy of Sciences, China, where I worked on the fig system. My main focus was to understand the sexual divergence in the fig system with respect to monoecious figs. Besides, I worked on a project supported by NSFC, China and tried to understand how free-ranging bats find fruits in the darkness. Also, I was interested in exploring why all dioecious figs are distributed across the Old Tropics, which was originally raised by Prof. D. H. Janzen in 1979. After, a very good time in China now I am back in India looking to further explore yet another interesting question with the same spirit.
