Harish Prakash did his PhD and postdoc from the Centre for Ecological Sciences (CES), Indian Institute of Science (IISc). For his PhD, he studied the foraging decisions of a bat in western ghats, and for his postdoc, he examined the daily movement decisions of mesocarnivores in a grassland-agriculture matrix. He is interested in examining the community structure and dynamics of birds & bats in the eastern ghats, and the rocky intertidal organisms along the coast of Bay of Bengal.
