After completing graduation and post-graduation in History from Presidency University, Kolkata, I pursued my M.Phil degree from the Institute of Development Studies Kolkata(IDSK), where my research interests aligned towards environmental history, political ecology, socio-ecological resilience studies and mainly towards transdisciplinary research. At present, I am pursuing my Ph.D. on the history of River Adi Ganga in Kolkata and the socio-ecological assemblages surrounding the river, from the Rekhi Centre of Excellence for the Science of Happiness, IIT Kharagpur. My supervisors are Dr. Jenia Mukherjee & Dr. Anuradha Choudry.

I have received the Centre for Policy Research’s Writing Urban India Fellowship, in February 2021 for my ongoing research on River Adi Ganga. I had also been selected as a Huntington Residential Institute Fellow in April 2021 for the programme ‘Anthroforming the Landscape: A Historical View from Asia’, jointly organized by the Research Institute in the History of Science and Technology Caltech and The Huntington Library California. I was selected as the FRIAS Summer School Fellow in June 2021 and participated in the programme “Concepts, Discourses and Practices of Resilience in the Environmental Humanities”, organized by FRIAS Research Focus "Environmental Humanities". I was also jointly awarded the Water Seekers Fellowship in October 2021, by Living Waters Museum, IISER Pune, Social & Political Research Foundation & Centre for Water Research, for my research on River Adi Ganga.
