Deepti is an ecologist with a Master’s in Wildlife Biology and Conservation from the National Centre for Biological Sciences. She has worked with Nature Conservation Foundation’s High Altitude Program since 2023. She is currently pursuing her PhD at Ashoka University externally funded by the Nature Conservation Foundation.
Deepti is broadly interested in human-animal interactions, carnivore ecology, population and community ecology, and freshwater ecosystems. She works on snow leopard-prey population dynamics in Western Himalaya. Her recent work includes understanding the long-term effects of snow leopard-mediated apparent competition in Spiti. She is also part of an all-women camera-trapping team in Spiti to monitor large mammals. Through her PhD, she is keen on investigating direct and indirect carnivore species interactions, especially predator-prey dynamics and interspecific competition in the face of anthropogenically driven global change, and their effect on human-nature relationships in the high altitude regions of Western Himalaya.
