Expertise

Biography

I am an ecologist with primary areas of research focusing on invasive species, epigenetics, biodiversity, and conservation. With a particular interest in understanding mechanisms underlying rapid adaptation in invasive species, employing better-targeted strategies for their management, and conserving native species. I have also worked for three years on amphibians and land snail distribution in the Western Ghats, India. I studied in India and am now currently in Australia, collaborating and working with colleagues from diverse backgrounds and cultures.

Roshmi identifies as culturally and linguistically diverse.
