My main interest spans around diatom taxonomy, ecology and biogeography in Indian subcontinent. I have also developed Environmental education tools called “SimRiver” based on diatom ecology in collaboration with Tokyo Gagukei University’s Mayama. Please see my publication page to know more about my research interests. SimRiver is available in Kannada, Marathi and Tamil. Please click the following link to choose your preferred language.
