AATREYEE SAHA
PRIME MINISTER'S RESEARCH FELLOW
Palaeoneurology of Miocene Sirenia in Kutch
Hi! I am Aatreyee, a Prime Minister's Research Fellow at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India. I am currently pursuing my doctoral degree on the palaeoneuroanatomy of mammals from the Cenozoic in India.
I am interested in studying the nervous systems of the extinct mammals and their complex physiological and behaivoural implications.
I pursued my Masters and Bachelors in Science from the Department of Geology, Center of Advanced Study, University of Delhi, India.
