"I am pursuing PhD in Evolution, Ecology and Behavior. I have always been fascinated by birds, their courtship displays and their songs. My interest in cognitive basis of bird songs brought me to Dent Laboratory of Comparative Bio-acoustics at UB. I am interested in studying the changes in perception and production of vocalizations in zebra finches and budgerigars in noisy environments. Broad goals of my research are to understand how anthropogenic noise affects wild bird populations."
