Harman Jaggi is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Princeton University's Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, affiliated with the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI) and Center for BioComplexity. She completed her PhD in Biology at Stanford University in 2024 under Shripad Tuljapurkar's supervision.
Her educational background includes:
- Postdoctoral Research Affiliate, Princeton University (2024-present)
- PhD in Biology, Stanford University (2019-2024)
- MS in Mathematics, Shiv Nadar University, India (2017-2019)
- BS, St. Stephens College, Delhi University, India (2012-2015)
Jaggi investigates socio-ecological impacts of global change using mathematical, computational, and field-based approaches. Her work focuses on population responses to environmental/anthropogenic disturbances, climate change adaptation, migration patterns, and life-history dynamics within fragmented habitats. She specializes in biodiversity conservation frameworks that integrate ecological modeling with socio-economic factors, particularly in vulnerable montane ecosystems like the Indian Trans Himalaya where she studies crop vulnerability and wildlife conservation.
She has received significant recognition including:
- Samuel Karlin Prize in Mathematical Biology (2024)
- Bing-Ehrlich Fellowship in Environmental Science and Conservation (2023-2024)
- King Center on Global Development Graduate Student Research Funding (2022-2023)
- Sustainability Accelerator award from Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability
Her research is supported by major grants focused on climate resilience in agricultural systems, particularly examining indigenous versus cash crops in the Trans Himalaya. At Princeton, she works under Simon Levin and Jonathon Levine, building on her Stanford work with the Tuljapurkar Lab and Nature Conservation Foundation collaborations on snow leopard ecology and socio-ecological frameworks for smallholder farmers.
