Background:

Joined ICAR- CMFRI in the year 2017. Earlier I was at ICAR-IASRI posted in the division of design of experiments. Worked in the area of cost-effective statistical designs for product and process optimization, designs for competition effects and web generation of experimental designs. Presently working in Fishery Resources and Assessment Division, CMFRI, focusing mainly on monitoring and assessment of marine fish landings along the Indian coastline.

Education:
  • PhD (Agricultural Statistics): 2011, Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi
  • MSc (Agricultural Statistics): 2006, Kerala Agricultural University, Thrissur
  • BSc (Mathematics): 2003, St. Thomas College, Thrissur.
Current Research Projects
