- PhD in Ecology -

 

 

I am a PhD candidate in ecology at the University of Wyoming. Under the supervision of Dr. Michael E. Dillon in Dept. of Zoology & Physiology, I have been working towards understanding the effects of environmental temperatures on the physiology of native bees. With the data collected during my dissertation, I intend to predict the impacts of changing temperatures in bee physiology and use the information obtained towards conservation of these critical pollinators.

 

Before joining the Dillon lab in  January 2012, I received my undergraduate degree in Forestry, from Tribhuvan University, Nepal. As an undergraduate, I studied the feeding ecology of Himalayan serow (Capricornis sumatraensis), a near-threatened goat antelope, in the Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal. 

Upon completion of my study here at the University of Wyoming, I plan to develop my career in academia. In addition to teaching graduate and undergraduate level courses, I will also conduct research. My long-term research goal is to address broader impacts of changing climate in organisms and use that information to formulate conservation plans in a wide range of species.

 

Thanks for stopping by!
