CES Welcomes Dr Gaurav Baruah as a new faculty member!

Gaurav completed his BS-MS at IISER Kolkata, followed by a PhD at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. He then held postdoctoral positions at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (ETH-Eawag) in Switzerland, and later at Bielefeld University, Germany, where he held an independent DFG Walter Benjamin postdoctoral position in theoretical biology.

The Centre for Ecological Sciences (CES) was established in 1983 as India’s first department of ecology at a premier institution. Over the last four decades, CES has pioneered research in ecology, evolution and behaviour using a range of approaches from field and experimental ecology to theoretical and computational ecology.
 

To celebrate 42 years of CES, we are planning an event on ‘Ecology, Evolution and Everything’ on June 28, 2025. Join us for a series of talks, panels, posters, displays and enjoyable conversations about all things ecology and conservation. 

CES Congratulates Prof. Vishwesha Guttal for being elected as a Fellow of Indian Academy of Sciences.
