Thanks for visiting my page!
I am an experienced econometrician and policy specialist, with 11+ years of experience, across academic, public, and private sectors.
I am passionate about evidence-driven decision-making and like to use a combination of econometric and design/visualization elements in order to bring out the subtleties of my analyses.
While I work across domain areas, my work in TB & HIV has led me to take a keen interest in the infectious diseases spectrum, and associated stigma. As part of a long term collaboration with the Clinton Health Access Initiative, I am working on documenting learnings from Project JEET, a nation wide private sector engagement program for TB elimination in India.
My other recent projects (2022) include the the development of a web-based platform for tracking catastrophic healthcare expenditure and unmet needs – for the P4H Network at the World Health Organization (WHO); and leading a nation-wide quantitative study to understand social protection in India, especially in the context of unequal digital access.
I also work closely with and represent Infinite Sum Modeling, a boutique consulting firm, specializing in international development. Should you require our expertise, please reach out.
I am an experienced data science instructor and have led multiple capacity trainings for professionals and graduate students. My academic experience includes graduate teaching at New York University, whilst also being a founding member of the federal-award-winning data science program for policy makers, Coleridge Initiative. I have a Master's in Public Policy and Management from Carnegie Mellon University, and a Master’s in Economics from Delhi School of Economics.
