Driven by a curiosity to understand how animals adapt to changing environments, Chena Desai pursued her PhD at Ahmedabad University.
As she graduates at the 16th Annual Convocation, Chena reflects on her journey studying the social behaviour and sensory adaptations of green chromides, an Indian cichlid fish species. Her research explored how these fish adjust their shoaling behaviour and visual systems in response to environmental and physiological changes, helping them maintain sociality even under stress.
Hear Chena share her key takeaways from Ahmedabad University and her aspirations for the future. We wish her the very best in her future endeavours and look forward to seeing her research create a lasting impact in the field.
