S D Biju
Associate Professor


Frogs fascinate Biju. This fascination which started about 20 years back, has only increased with time. Biju's first profession was plant taxonomy. Following his pioneering fieldwork in the Western Ghats, he worked in the Amphibian Evolution Lab, Brussels for his PhD on Indian frogs.  Biju is now in University of Delhi and leads a team of young and dynamic researchers. The Systematics Lab, that he initiated and developed, is fully equipped for amphibian research. Biju’s research interests include fieldwork, taxonomy, molecular and morphological systematics, bioacoustics and reproductive biology.

Major achievements
Discovered over 100 new species of amphibians, including the description of a new family and six new genera.
