Dr. Amit Kumar, M.Sc, Ph.D

I am a marine ecologist with an interest in understanding response and adaptation of marine organisms to environmental stress. My current focus is to understand how seaweeds will be affected by climate change stressors such as ocean warming and acidification. I have been utilizing underwater volcanic CO2 vents as natural laboratory to study ocean acidification as well as also performing experiments in controlled laboratory conditions. I use multidisciplinary approach including RNA-Seq, proteomics, enzymatic assays, biochemical analysis etc. to answer my research questions.

Dr. C. Arokiyaraj

I am a post-doctoral researcher working on an ICMR-funded project investigating the impacts of climate change on mosquito ecology and disease dynamics. Insects, often called the natural world's architects, play vital roles in ecological processes. My research interests in entomology include protein chemistry, biological control, biodiversity, and entomophagy. Currently, I am dedicated to enhancing our understanding of vector dynamics and improving public health outcomes through these efforts

My key research focuses on the ecology, biogeography and evolution of Caridina shrimps in the Indian subcontinent, particularly the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot. I pursued my Master's in Marine Science, specialising in Marine Biology, from the School of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Goa University. My research includes integrative taxonomy, analytical chemistry and conservation biology. Additionally, I evaluate the status and exploitation of marine ornamental shrimps for the aquarium trade. Using Caridina shrimps as a model system I assess their physiological and molecular adaptations to changing climatic conditions.

Nature has always had a way of connecting to human souls. I have connected with the serene calmness of the oceans, which ultimately inspired me to dive into its depths. I am Silpa M. S., a marine biologist currently pursuing a PhD focused on the impacts of climate change on seagrass ecosystems. I am also working as a Scientific Assistant, contributing to research and educational initiatives. I completed my master's in Marine Biology from Cochin University of Science and Technology, Kerala, in 2021. I am a PADI-certified open water diver and have always been passionate about travelling and connecting with people from diverse cultures.
