Name : Yogeshwaran Murugesan
Designation : Project Associate, PhD student

Brief Background :

My specialization is on diatoms and their application as a proxy for understanding microbial evolution and biogeography. I study more about the mechanisms underlying microbial diversification, their ecological adaptations, and the factors affecting their geographic distributions.
Currently, my research interest is understanding the phylogenetic relation and biogeography of the Gomphonemoid diatoms of the Western Ghats

Contact Details :

  • B.Sc., M.Sc. (Microbiology)

My research interest is to document the diatoms from the Northeast India and also relating the diatom community to the environmental variables especially water chemistry.

I am culturing the diatoms to exploring the economically important bioactive compounds such as lipids.
