Department of Botany

I am currently serving as an Asst. Prof. of Botany and actively engaged in research in the field of mycology, affiliated with the Madhabdev University, Assam. My research primarily focuses on the diversity and taxonomic study of fungal families Xylariaceae and Hypoxylaceae from the rich and largely unexplored ecosystems of Arunachal Pradesh, North-East, India. Through my work, I aim to contribute to the understanding of fungal biodiversity and taxonomy in this ecologically significant region.
