Welcome to my website!
I am an Assistant Professor of Practice in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics at Texas Tech University. In my current position, I serve as the coordinator of the Master of Agribusiness Program. I completed my PhD in Agricultural Economics at Auburn University, AL (USA) in Spring 2022. After completing my Ph.D., I gained research experience as a postdoctoral research scholar at Arizona State University and Texas State University.
This website is dedicated to my parents. They were my pillars of strength and the reason behind my dedication in PhD. This one is for "Ma and Baba".
It was in 1998, a few days after Professor Amartya Sen received the Nobel Prize in economics for his pioneering work on Social Choice Theory, I was crossing the road holding Ma's (mother's) hand to board the school bus. The young curious child asked Ma, "What is economics?" Ma replied, "Economics is a subject about money". My inquisitive mind became impatient to dig into the subject, especially after knowing that one of my cousins also studied Economics. The seed of economics was instilled in me from then. I was in 4th standard. As I grew older, from 9th and 10th standards, my desire to know economics augmented, and I found that it is beyond money. Economics is a confluence of social aspects that guides us in finding solutions to make society better. I decided to pursue economics.
