Interest in taxonomy is generated in me because of my great teacher Dr. A. Bijukumar. His passion and dedication to research motivated me in my field of echinoderm taxonomy.

I am just a beginner in this amazing field and love to work on sea cucumbers and brittle stars. One of my greatest dreams is to become a renowned taxonomist in these two groups. As taxonomists are now a rarer group, I am trying to make students get interested in systematic studies of various groups of organisms.
