Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor at the Centre For Mathematical and Computational Economics in the School of AI and Data Science at IIT-Jodhpur. Prior to this, I worked as a Fellow at National Institute of Public Finance and Policy, and as an Associate Fellow at Brookings India. I obtained a PhD in Applied Economics from Western Michigan University in 2019.

My research interests lie in the intersection of applied econometrics (including Machine Learning and Causal Inference techniques) and development economics and health economics. I study maternal and child health outcomes, child mortality and morbidity, malnutrition, immunization, health insurance and health financing. I use Machine Learning techniques to improve targeting of public policies.
