biography

  • I am an applied economist with an interest in global development, with a focus on evidence-based policy research. My current research interests are on financial inclusion, skills training, infrastructure, and education. I have several ongoing field experiments (RCTs) in South Asia and West Africa. Completed projects are available as working papers and articles in international peer-reviewed journals, including the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, Journal of Health Economics, Journal of Public Economics, Journal of Development Economics, as well as interdisciplinary journals such as American Journal of Public Health and Nature Scientific Reports, to name a few. I received several awards and recognitions, including the Sasakawa Young Leaders Fellowship, the Neil Vousden Memorial Scholarship, the CDESG Best Paper Award, the ADB-IEA Innovative Policy Research Award, the FIU Top Scholar Award, and the JADE Fuwa Award. I published an edited book titled "Seasonality and Micro-credit" from Springer. I am currently a J-PAL affiliate professor and a fellow of IZA and GLO.
