I completed my Master's degree in Molecular and Human Genetics in India.  During my master's studies, I explored various human genetic disease mechanisms, focusing on how their susceptibilities vary among populations influenced by factors such as inbreeding, selection, and admixture. I got interested in evolutionary genomics, with an emphasis on population-specific adaptations, while further refining my skills in genomics and bioinformatics. 

In my doctoral research, I am passionate about understanding the genetic adaptation in North-Eastern Europe due to past infectious diseases and environmental changes.  In this project, I combine ancient and modern human DNA and life history trait data in a Finnish context to examine the effects of past events on human genomes in the past versus the present population.
