Trained as an environmental economist, my core work addresses issues at the intersection of environmental health, agricultural impacts, water resources, climate change, and development policy, spanning global to region- and country-level assessments in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. Passionate about interdisciplinary research, I combine econometric methods and multi-disciplinary tools to explore the interactions between human and economic activities and the natural environment. I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Center on Food Security and the Environment at Stanford University where I am presently an affiliated scholar. I completed my PhD in the dual-Doctoral program in Agricultural, Environmental and Regional Economics & Demography at the Pennsylvania State University in 2016. Prior to my PhD, I provided research assistance at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars , Sloan Center on Aging and Work, Center for Retirement Research and did survey and field work at the Center for Microfinance, IFMR, (J-PAL South Asia). I completed my Master’s in Economics from the University of Mumbai, India and Boston College, MA, and my Bachelor’s in Economics and Statistics from St. Xavier's College, Mumbai, India. Outside of work, I enjoy learning Indian classical music, writing for children, photography, running, painting and volunteering. |
