I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.

I Have a Passion for Quantifying Things
I am Dipanjana, a mathematician turned Ecologist. I am on a journey to explore the world and attempt to understand it's many mysteries.

Current Research

My current research involves looking at host pathogen interactions and studying how these interactions shape biodiversity. My aim is to quantify interactions and stability.
I have a Bachelor's and a Master's from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research. I am currently pursuing a PhD at University of Connecticut, at the department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. I am making a transition from Mathematics to Community Ecology because I believe in applying my knowledge on more grounded problems, and issues that haunt us today.

Teaching

I love teaching, and hope to become a good teacher. Pedagogy is an important component of the skill set I hope to learn in the next few years of my life. I currently teach Biology lab to freshmen, and have previously taught programming in Python to undergraduates.

Other Interests

My other interests involve traveling, cooking, and drawing. I am trying to pick up digital painting over the last few months, as well as find analogous vegan recipes for our all time favourite deserts.
