She qualified GATE, NET-LS and CSIR-JRF in 2013, 2014 and 2015 respectively. She worked on Drosophila genetics and published 07 national and international papers in Journals of repute.

Dr. Singh is presently working as Assistant Professor of Department of Zoology. She was trained as an endocrinologist during her M.Sc but switched to evolutionary biology for her Ph.D. work. Now, she is an Evolutionary Biologist. Although she is just a beginner in this field, but she did lots of work during her Ph.D. She has seven papers from her Ph.D. work. Therefore, she has many ideas regarding the evolutionary studies. Broadly interested in understanding the mechanism of speciation of sibling species or closely related species and their constraints. She is also planning to do behavioural, ecological and GxE work. She will use fruit fly populations raised (and adapted) in the laboratory to conduct experimental research on these issues. Through these experiments she not only tests various theories but she also routinely observes how characters evolve in these populations.
