I am currently pursuing Ph.D under supervision of Dr. Niraj Rai from Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences, Lucknow. I did Master in Forensic science from Kurukshetra university. I am interested in to understand and reconstructing the human population ancestry of south Asian people from ancient samples. Currently I am working on ancient Ladakh samples that had been dated to 2000 years old. This is going to remarkable studies from ancient prospections like how population structure had been shaped by over the period of time. I am very efficient in handling ancient as well as modern samples, extraction of DNA and library preparation for next generation sequencing. My experience made me independent researcher and excellent in laboratory techniques related to more than thousand years old samples. I can confidently handle high throughout put sequencing data on Linux server. I am also skilled in data representation with r programming.
