She has been a member of faculty at the Indian Institute of Science since 1998 and was Chair of the Department of Ecological Sciences from 2016 to 2020. Her work focuses on communication in insects, particularly acoustic communication, and through this explores vocal repertoires and their functions, complex natural acoustic communication networks, the search for and selection of mates, predator-prey interactions, and acoustic monitoring of biodiversity. In February 2021, a new species of cricket – Oecanthus rohiniae – was named after her in recognition of her work.
