Current work

Keen on looking at animal-borne sensor data through the lens of physics, mathematics, and computer science to gain new insights into animal behaviour & ecology. Current work involves building generalised behaviour recognition algorithms from inertial sensor data collected on wild Kalahari meerkats to investigate their foraging behaviour.

Languages

English (near-native), French (fluent), Bengali (native), Hindi (native), Punjabi (intermediate).
