Name : Vigneshwaran Anbukarasu
Designation : Ph.D. student
Brief Background :
I am a Ph.D. student with a keen interest in studying the diversity of diatoms across environmental gradients and exploring their potential applications in water quality monitoring. Currently, I am working on developing diatom-based pollution monitoring protocols to assist water quality managers in assessing and managing aquatic ecosystems effectively.

I am interested inunderstanding the diatom community structure of the Western Ghats streams and rivers and I am exploring the possibility of using diatoms as bioindicators to monitor aquatic health. Also, I am associated with many novel taxa discoveries from the Western Ghats region.
