I am Achyut, a plant ecologist specializing in biological invasions. My research seeks to answer a fundamental question: How do the plants travel outside their home and when in a new area, why and how some of them establish and cause harm to others?

​My another hat is of an Assistant Professor at the Bhopal campus of Azim Premji University. In this role, my mission is to equip undergraduate students with the quantitative skills needed to tackle today’s most pressing biological challenges. Through my lens in ecology, my Biodiversity and Conservation courses connect these numbers to the real world—to the species, ecosystems, and planetary health we strive to understand and protect.

This site serves as a hub for my academic activities, including my latest publications and research projects, teaching philosophy, and course materials. Please explore my work and feel free to connect.
