Welcome to my website!
I am an Assistant Professor of Economics and the Co-Director of the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) program at Austin College. I received my Ph.D. and M.A. in Economics from the University of Memphis, following my earlier academic pursuits that led to a B.S. and an M.S. in Applied Statistics from the University of Dhaka. I have a demonstrated history of research and teaching (15+ years) in higher education.
My primary research area is applied microeconomics, with a focus on Health Economics, Public Policy, Labor Economics, Economics of Gender, Economics of Education, and Development Economics. My research focuses on identifying policy solutions that reduce health disparities and improve economic outcomes for vulnerable populations. My approach combines causal inference with machine learning to address real-world issues in a data-driven manner.
My publications appear in Economic Modeling, Applied Economics, Review of Economics of the Household, and other well-regarded journals. Additionally, I presented my research at the American Economic Association, American Society of Health Economists, and other leading economics conferences. I am currently serving on the editorial boards of the Health Economics and Health Sciences sections of PLOS ONE and Frontiers in Public Health.
