Biography

I am Dr. tunira working as a faculty member in department of Zoology in Post graduate Institute in RaeBareli India. I have a PhD in Ecology and Environmental Biology. My research work is mainly focused on earthworms ecology in natural and managed ecosystems and have published many papers in well reputed international journals .Presently I am involved in research on various aspects of soil faunal biodiversity over a spectrum of ecosystems ranging from degraded ecosytems to agroecosystems and natural ecosystems. I have completed seven projects till date awarded by Department of science and technology Govt of India Council of Scientific and Industrial Research Govt Of India, TSBF Zimbabwe -to name a few. I am also recipient of Women Scientist and Young Scientist Award to work on soil fertility related Projects By Govt of India. I am always open to work in collaboration with any one sharing my research interest specially in field of Soil biodiversityand natural resource management.

Area of Interest:

Plant and Soil Sciences
