Profile

Bio Sketch

Ravail Singh is a Scientist at Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine, the constituent laboratory of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, India. He has been recipients of DAAD fellowship for carrying out his PhD research work at Oldenburg university, Germany. He received his Ph.D. on deep sea benthic biology from Senckenberg am Meer, Oldenburg university, Germany in 2015. After his PhD, he was promoted as Post-doctoral researcher under the project “Ecological aspects of deep-sea mining” in the same institute. Subsequently, he joined CSIR as a Scientist on 2017 and began his independent research career.

At the IIIM, Jammu his research focuses on creating a better understanding of the role of benthic fauna in the aquatic ecosystem function, and advancing our knowledge of meiofauna and nematode biology and ecology. To understand the morphological and cellular level functional strategies that enable these invertebrate species to exploit diverse habitats and to establish biogeographic patterning His group is also involved in screening the benthic invertebrates to discover the biological important secondary metabolites for variety of applications.

Aside the core research outlined above, he is also using artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches to develop software programme for automatic identification of benthic invertebrate fauna.
