Hi! I'm Ayusha and I am curious, almost to a fault. I love to keep my mind engaged in all different fields - the goal being to understand the world better. It seemed almost natural then to choose a field with the potential to keep me eternally hooked - RESEARCH. I started the journey with 'Forensic Genetics', learning to code for NGS library prep for my Honours year (cried every day but loved the challenge!) and I now live my happiest PhD life looking at bones and developing an optimal strategy for examination of skulls in variety of forensic contexts. Thanks Patricia Cornwell and NCIS for first introducing me to the world of forensics!When I am not slaving away at the university or sharing PhD memes with my fellow researchers, I love to read - anything and everything (yes, sometimes even fan fiction), travel and enjoy a good red wine. I also consider myself a 'foodie' and can provide you a restaurant recommendation for almost every cuisine.Feel free to reach out if you ever want to talk about forensics, bones or food.
