I am an applied economist with interest in issues of 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 inter-disciplinary journals such as Nature Scientific Reports, to name a few. I received several awards and recognitions, including the Sasakawa Young Leaders Fellowship, the Neil Vousden Memorial Scholarship, CDESG Best Paper Award, ADB-IEA Innovative Policy Research Award, FIU Top Scholar Award and 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.
