Abhimanyu is a zoologist who metamorphosed into environmental scientist, focusing on terrestrial ecology, species behaviour, and species–environment interactions. He holds a Master’s degree in Environmental Protection and Climate Change Adaptation, where his research centred on the ecological impacts of climate variability and conservation strategies for biodiversity under change.

Prior to joining QCIF in 2024, Abhimanyu worked as a Functional Ecology Analyst at Griffith University with EcoCommons and Environmental Field Officer across the Sydney Basin, working with local councils and national parks on threatened species surveys, invasive species control, and habitat management. His fieldwork gave him a practical foundation for applying ecological models in conservation decision-making.

At QCIF, he contributes to the EcoCommons platform as a Data Ecologist. His work spans platform testing, user training, and co designing ecological and climate change modelling workflows. He also develops learning resources, code notebooks and workshops that help researchers and practitioners integrate modelling into their projects.

Passionate about science communication, latest technology for conservation and reproducible as well as practical ecological applications. Outside work, he can often be found photographing nature, writing songs on nature, hiking at cool spots in nature or caring for pollinator-friendly spaces.
